Even if that's so, what's your point? What I can see is that there's
serious problems in the US and other places with healthcare. Everybody
who is crying foul about the currently health care legislation that's
coming into effect have conveniently neglected to offer some effective
solution to the current and increasing problem.

Maybe the currently legislation will screw things up worse, who knows?
But just maybe, it might be the beginning of something better. Sure
there's going to be growing pains, but just maintaining status quo
does not seem to be working out very well.



Oh, no question we'll move from the status quo. Expect insurance rates to
rise by a Significant amount, thus creating more uninsured. Also expect all
the new taxes through 2013 will be used as general fund revenue. When the
money is actually needed starting in 2014 we'll borrow it from the Chinese
or whoever is stupid enough to loan it to us. Maybe Venezuela.
