So which one is it? Is this bill likely to help people or not?
The way I see it, this bill would have been a good thing - a very good thing - if it came with a viable Public Option. But once Lieberman & company killed that plan, all we were really left with was a mandate to purchase an overpriced product from a handful of crooked companies.
Unlike you, I don't necessarily see that as such a good thing.

This bill is just the tip of the iceberg. I guess within ten years, health care will become public. Why pay middlemen and with that much purchasing power, drugs and medical equipment will become less expensive. It is coming. Once people get a taste of freedom...they never go back.
