Thanks Aziz for the concise explanation of what the bill will do. Not whether it is good or bad, but what will it do. The links provide a good rounded views of the results from views on either side. Excellent job!

Aziz, obligatory access to emergency rooms has ensured that nobody who really needed it is generally denied medical care, so universal coverage (while needed) isn’t quite the dire situation it’s made out to be. You can argue that the e-room visits are ridiculously wasteful of resources (as they are), but then we’d be back to the real issue: cost. The bill does nothing to address it, even when assuming e-room visits would drop. I’m afraid all this will net us in the end is an net average lower standard of living, higher public debt, and more corporate welfare.

Preston, since when do two wrongs make a right? If we’re selling the country’s fiscal stability up the river already, how is continuing to do that not a negative?

Rich, Its pretty clear that the primary purpose of the bill was to ensure universal coverage with the system we currently have. You are right to point out that cost savings are treated as an after-thought. Lets see what the Senate comes up with.

Don’t buy what. These positives aspects of the bill cant be denied because there true. There are no negatives, and don’t say cost because if we can pay for war and bail-outs we can pay for health care
