Northview Grad At U.S. Supreme Court For Health Care Decision

June 29, 2012

A Byrneville resident was on hand at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on Thursday when the landmark decision upholding the Affordable Health Care Act was announced.

Luke Killam, the Northview High School Class of 2009 valedictorian, was outside as the health insurance decision was announced inside the court. The scene outside was described by Killam as “insane”.

He said the area was packed with supporters in one area, those in opposition in another area, and a large turnout by supporters of the Tea Party. It appeared to be a much larger event in person that it appeared on television news reports, he said.

“When the decision was announced inside the court, people ran outside. You could hear people screaming but you did not know what the court ruled,” he said.

“Cell service, at least on my Blackberry was busy or jammed,” Killam said, “so I did not actually know the decision for a while.”
