From what I have read, the only regrettable thing about the new system is that it is messy because of all the compromises...
Compromises? When? Where? I guess you don't know that that bill was written behind locked doors in the offices of Dirty Harry Reid with only Democrat Senators, a couple of union heads and some more Obama men in attendance. Why would they need any compromises when there were no Republicans in attendance and no debate was done on the floor. Maybe you should study up on what took place with that writing from somebody a little less left leaning than the left leaners here.

Actually its currently regulated by the state insurance commissions, present in all 50 states, not by the federal government, so you dont have a clue.

The point is that our healthcare costs are far above anyone else's and it need not be.

Like we old people? I bet your universal care would have to have to have some panels, like the Medicare panels in every state where they decide how much health care providers can be paid for the old people.

I'll only say this one more time. If you are bent on ignoring my responses, I am not of a mind to continue to respond to yours.

EVERY American should get decent health care...... NOT just the wealthy!
Maybe you need to hide and watch what new things appear in Obamacare like the new bit of crap they stacked on Catholics. As time goes on new bits and pieces that have been there but never seen by anybody other than those who wrote that thing know are there.

When progressives see stuff like that that they like they think it is the real truth.

Do you see those words in the Constitution with the other rights? Since you don't it must not be to anybody who is not a progressive.
