i heard this on the news
its gotta be a good thing! right?


or are the negatives just coming from the insurance companies

it's a mixed bag. It's not the health care reform most of us wanted. It leaves health care in the hands of the companies that have murdered millions of people in the last 80 years; however they can't deny coverage anymore, pre-existing conditions can't deny coverage anymore, can't deny coverage if a person has a life long disorder and you go over $2 million dollars of health care cost in your life time, some other minor concessions.

I believe this was done to put something in place. Basically giving the health care companies a longer noose in which to put their own neck in. If the health care companies fail the American public again, then we'll be one more step closer to single-payer or a Medi-care buy-in option. Medi-care currently is only offered by the government to people at 65 years old and over. Medi-care operates at a cost of only 3% by the government. If you wonder if Medi-care is any good or not, tell an American age 65 or old that someone is going to try to take away their Medi-care. You'll have a fight on your hands.

doesnt take long for the opposition to claim it was their idea in the 1st place

Well, they are doing that YET. They are screaming into the news medias saying they are going to organise and repeel most of it. The are saying it's Armageddon, it's the end of the world. The scare tactics are amazing and sadly it only works on their target audience - the low education, low information, single issue voter.

I often find the the low education, low information, single issue voter making the most noise on youtube comments. Makes republicans look like a larger group than they really are. (Why do I get a Stephanie Miller skit in my head right now? )
