Further more, what else is buried in that bill and how long will it take to find it?
Whatever it takes! So they say...

The Democrats pushed the Healthcare law through, however with most laws on the books change shortly after they come out and more with time. Natural process as you know.
It makes no difference who has the power, enough oppositions votes were put down if a few more Republicans voted for it, it would have blocked it. The same Republicans that rail against healthcare, say small business is the way to go, etc - just ignored us.
It gets paid for in many many many various ways... some are good/decent and smart ways, others are completely stupid and need to be removed/adjusted. It's all laid out in the bill though, not hidden away.
Like most laws/acts/bills, this one needs to be improved and the Republicans just dropped the ball big time.
