Anyone else watching it? Opinions?

just for the sake of argument, simply having insurance means nothing when the hospitals charge about 20 or 30 % more than the insurance will pay... insured people go bankrupt as well. after they're done charging you $20 for an aspirin or running a $5000 MRI when a $200 x-ray would have sufficed, you can end up with thousands of dollars worth of bills that they want to sue you for even though you've religiously paid the sky high premiums. $50, $500, or $5000 is all the same thing when you don't have it.. unless they can find a way to get the out of pocket expenses under control, this trillion dollar boondoggle for the insurance companies isn't going to help those that are in the most need of help, and simply bringing more indentured customers into the market isn't going to cut it.... human greed being what it is the insurance companies will do nothing but take advantage of their captive client base to further enrich themselves.. i mean, if we're going to go to a socialist form of government anyway, and that's the way things are looking, why not go all the way and get these greedy bastards under control?

AMERICA IS DOOMED, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO BUT SIT BACK, DRINK BEER, AND HOPE WE DON'T GET SICK.

meh, it has some good things involving social issues, but some bad things involving economic issues. I really don't see it as this radical reform that everyone is making it out to be.

The country is f*cked. The Democrats are going to end up running it into the ground.

[Hydra]

Where's the beef

[WBkrazy]

got this in an email, thought it was kinda funny....

" so let me get this straight......we just passed a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president that also hasn't read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.

What the hell could possibly go wrong????
