The real story is that HR 3200 is designed to create in the long run a single payer system which 88% of the country is against, UK and Canadian citizens hate and die b/c of waiting lists and ultimately they now want private ins.
The govt will mandate insurance to ALL small businesses and corporations alike with an 8% payroll tax if the employer opts out (say if the private ins he offers his/her small staff is better than the public option). In turn, due to overhead/admin costs, he will have to lay off more staff and the employees will go to the public option and wait in lines.
If you want to fix HC, open up state borders for competition, provide primary care phys. with incentives to work in communities where there is no other option, i.e. rural areas, take care of the problem with fraud which is 30+% of all Medicare/Medicaid costs, and stop baseless emergency room visits for headaches and the like. This alone will save billions and bend the cost curve substantially. I suggest you go to Youtube and type in "Obama 2003 single payer" and see where he really stands on this issue.
Hope this helps.
