Oh I see we insure 30 million more peole, no ones coverage changes and the cost of health care goes down. Now that is a neat trick!
These fools actually believe that. How can one insure 30-40 million people, cut no coverage for anyone else, and save money? It is an absolute lie, and everyone knows it.
Again- simple math. Multiply $500 (it will probably be closer to $1,000) times 10,000,000 and you have the minimum added expense that will occur as a result of this plan. The "savings" by medicare cuts will never happen, as no politician has the guts to actually cut medicare. This plan is just a huge financial burden on a nation that cannot afford its current obligations.

Keep telling yourself that it isn't universal health care as you watch more and more people on the government rolls and more insurance companies pulling out of health care coverage.
I don't mind losers pulling out (no pun intended).
Hope I don't lose my job over this healthcare bill

Ceece, you can wear that big ol' We Won grin all you like and you can celebrate to your heart's content and you can look down on the sniveling low life the rest of us are but your comment was
However, it *is* a bailout of the insurance industry. They get millions more customers (contrary to popular belief, not everyone who does not have insurance would become a drain on their profits) and no restrictions on what they can charge and no competition from the Government to keep them honest.
This bill does not "bailout" the insurance industry, though the insurance industry was spirally downward due to the adverse selection problem. There are tight regulations on how much money the insurance companies can keep from the premiums they collect. A government run insurance is not going to run itself and its operating costs will likewise eat into the premiums collected.

All the areas I've lived in have more than just two options for health insurance.

Do you feel the same way about the auto-insurers as well? Not sure what is so bad about an insurance company.
