I don't have many feelings about it. I have good insurance through
my job. It's comforting to know that my husband's pre-existing
conditions will no longer present a problem in obtaining insurance
should that become necessary before we qualify for Medicare.

Part of me thinks that we need "socialized medicine" in order to
compete with countries that have it. Perhaps a basic guaranteed
level of care, and companies that have to attract and retain
talented individuals can buy and offer a more deluxe extension

You don't want them to waste money doing what they are the the best

No, I want them to spend what is necessary, but not more than is
necessary.

The federal government has no authority to
