Its essentially the status quo with continuing the insurance monopoly, continuing dropping people for pre-existing conditions and continuing to accept 44,000 deaths per year due to millions of people being uninsured. Its appalling to even think they would put forth something so bad.


Contrary to Republican policy over the last decade Obama's bill will not add to the deficit. Some people will need to pay a small bit of higher taxes that will likely be offset by everyone having lower premiums. A small price to pay to end the barbaric system.
