I hope I am wrong and I may well be. I am sure 12th and Saden have multiple links to disprove my cynical view. As I have said all along, I just don't think this law does enough to address the underlying flaws in the healthcare system which are stressing the cost for services. In fact, I believe it will do more to exacerbate them.

But I'm not really worried - insurance companies and healthcare providers have promised to cut 2 trillion in costs over the next 10 years. Add that to the promised 130 billion in deficit reduction from this law and we are in for some boom times people!!

I just try to be the voice of reason, I don't really come here to have heated debates or prove people wrong. I have a point of view like the next guy, but I also come here to learn and glean information from the rest of you. Even firstdown

I have scant criticisms of this bill and I'm a little leery of some of the numbers, but I also believe at the end of the day Republicans will regret not getting in on this. It won't be repealed and as we see hiccups along the way, and we will, new legislation will be enacted to improve upon the core bill.
