Did you miss where i posted a link to where you can read the bill... and where of people who have bothered to read it even MORE are opposed to it then what Squirrel posted.

The more informed you are about the bill... the more likely you are to be against it.

Seriously, go to Opencongress... read the full bill, and tell me how any of that is supposed to be a good idea and supposed to lower costs rather then rapidly inflate them.

You have a chance to be informed on the issue... or you can do what your accusing other people of doing... blindly talk shit about something you know nothing about.

I will admit I did not read it, but people who have similar opinions have and didn't like it much so I will just take their word for it since I don't have the time to read it now. However I will say what I said before, health care needed to be reformed and the status quo needed to be changed before that cold happen. Think of it as a ball stuck in a rut, it's very hard to get it out of that rut initially, but once it's out it can easily go wherever it wants. I view this buill as that initial push, where it goes from here is still up for debate and for us to see.

So while the bill itself may be bad, in the great scheme of things I believe the bill is absolutely amazing and just what was needed. Not because of its contents, but because of what it will actually, hopefully, do.

Name one program that worked like that in the history of the US government.

That started out horrible, and was shortly reformed into something great.]

When this passes it will be the status quo for decades.  It makes the chance of a single payer system in our lifetimes less likely... not more.

They'll pass this... then won't want to give it the large reforms it needs... because if they do, that means the democrats will have to admit they royally screwed up.

Republicans won't reform it because they'll work to get rid of it.

So it's either going to be worse for the status quo for a long time... or worse then the status quo for a short time, then gotten rid of.

 

They would of done better to actually reform the system... this isn't even really healthcare reform.  It's subsidies... just throwing money at the problem and hoping it goes away.
