If it turns out to be true that North Korea launched on that South Korean ship today, I will give you one guess where the stock market is going....

Oh wow. That's Glenn Beckworthy evidence. Sorry to question - with evidence like that I can't argue.

Of course it is, it's a real movement towards cost control. I am just astounded by the inability to do simple algebra by the tea idiots.

When some one who doesn't have health care gets sick, and sick enough to need outside intervention, instead of going to a doctors office they go to the ER. The ER is the second most expensive department in the hospital (the first being the OR suites). It makes no sense to force people into the ER for things like chronic health maintenance, infections, and minor injuries when they can be done better in much cheaper clinic settings (Office visits are CPT's 99201 - 99205, or 99211 - 99215 if you want to look them up). If the patient can't pay, it gets dropped onto the patients that can pay (plus payments from CMS already taken in the form of taxes).

So everyone is already paying for it in one way or the other, but since they have to go to the ER it costs 5-10x as much. Not only because it costs more, but people usually only go when they are even sicker and have no other choice.

Last few days since bill was passed:

Because insurance companies are salivating and having orgasms over:

1) A nearly infinite influx of new business brought in by Uncle Sam;

2) An implicit guarantee of endless bailouts (see AIG) now that they are one of Uncle Sam's minions.

Think about it Padcrasher. Were Uncle Sam to force people to buy your product, you would no doubt wake up in a puddle every morning.
