Obama Health care plan.

So is that all the providers will have to charge the same for equivilent policies?
Isn't part of the problem with that that they would have to get enough people to sign up and if they don't then they go out of business?

I understand the need for price controls. Too cheap to undercut the rivals and you wont have enough money to cover the hospital charges. Too much and you price yourself out of the market. No regulation and they will charge whatever they want. If this bill doesn't have any price controls then that is a good enough reason not to want that part of it but does that one bit which can be amended spoil the rest of the bill?

Will it drive cost up? No-one has explained why yet.
It seems that at the moment a lot of people can't afford insurance as it's too expensive for them and the supposed cheap alternative is simply that. Cheap all round. I can see why people wouldn't want the US gov to control the spending if the money came from taxes but to have the money coming in from so many different sources can't be good for the system either? How much money is spent in administration charges by the hospitals jsut getting the money?

And what about the policies themselves? will they cover more for the same price as point 2 indicates.
You answer so far has been the most reasonable reason as to why you don't want it but to me it's not a good enough reason to throw it all out . I'm going to go and read up on the bill itself to find out more about it.
