Basically, I am for the health care reform. I haven't read the full text, but I have downloaded it and have skimmed it. I actually spent an hour going through it disproving the "facts" that were sent to me in an email.
I believe that additional policy holders will cover most of the expenses that the insurance companies will have to pay and I believe that if hospitals are writing off fewer losses from treating people that can't pay, then hospital costs will come down.
I don't think it is the best solution but like our constitution, I think it'll be a living document that grows and improves. Something needs done and once the first and biggest change is implemented, it's easier for the growth to happen.
What I really don't like are the lies surrounding the bill. If you're a conservative or republican and don't like the bill because you think it's fiscal irresponsibility or because you don't like big government, I disagree but I respect your opinion. If you don't like the bill because a talking head on TV or an email told you that you shouldn't like it, then I feel sorry for you.
Learning politics from watching any political opinion show is like learning physics from watching Wile E. Coyote and the RoadRunner. BeepBeep!
