I remember when the Clinton's fucked with healthcare, same thing happened, Healthcare insurance cost jumped.
What's entertaining is that the new congress will try to get rid of the new law and with all those senators that are up for re elections in 2012, they could get to the POTUS desk with it.
I don't think this it the GOP's fault, I think it's the way the democrats got the job done, if they had worked with the GOP and got some common ground, which I know is a long shot, then the bill would have been accepted by the people better and last November would have been a different story

The Healthcare bill didn't get Americans going... it got a small, active, group that normally votes heavy in the midterms to vote - in general, using fear & lies to promote an false agenda.
The current healthcare bill is FULL, packed... with Republican Ideas, it's no where close to what it was originally and recently it has changed even more. Hell, the majority of the bill is a Copy of what Reagan wanted....
It would have been accepted better if the Right/Media/Tea Party didn't spew pure all out lies about it, over and over and over again.
