What I feel most uncomfortable about it is.....everything. The irrational discourse from all sides, the levels of fear among the vast majority who can only sit back and watch it all happen, and most of all the almost complete lack of knowledgable sources who we can rely on to understand the current and proposed systems but don't have some finger in the pie or some bias about the outcome. Basically, no matter what happens, whether the coming changes to our health care system are large, small, or even nonexistant from the status quo, we're gonna get screwed. This now seems to be the standard operating procedure for changes that are made through Congress. I recall the days decades ago when bipartisan committees would go away and spend real time working on real changes and, although politics played a part in what happened, there was often (or sometimes) something sensible in the way it was handled. In the past decade there's been little of that and it now seems to have almost entirely disappeared.
