WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will issue its last opinions on Thursday, with its decision on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul expected to come down that day.

The court will begin its summer recess after announcing its decisions, with health care topping the list of undecided cases. The court also still has to decide cases on lying about military medals and real estate kickbacks.

The court cleared two of its major cases off its docket on Monday, throwing out much of Arizona's new immigration law and deciding that sentencing juveniles to life in prison without possibility of parole qualified as a "cruel and unusual" punishment.

After Thursday, the justices won't meet publicly again in the Supreme Court until the first Monday in October.

Obama's healthcare "reform" should be seen as unConstitutiona l. How can someone who can't afford healthcare in the first place be fined for not having it? The biggest drain on our healthcare system for the past couple of decades has been brought about by unreasonable fees charged by doctors and hospitals and the uninsured using hospital emergency rooms as walk-in clinics for non-emergency care. On top of that, look at medical insurance. I am paying just a few dollars shy of $600.00 per MONTH to maintain my insurance. If Obama's plan goes into effect, people like me will continue to pay exorbitant costs for insurance and probably see an increase to our costs as we will be the ones paying for those who will benefit from Obama's plan.
