The tax increases and the cost of care increases are party insensitive.

Are you buying the notion that the waste in Medicare is going to fund the reform? You mean they are going to cut Medicare that is forecast to go belly up in less than 10 years?

How can anybody support a program that has yet to be defined? Has yet to have had a cost estimate done.

It seems like the emphasis is on getting it done no matter what is in it and along with that.....NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS.

I find it particularly interesting how much so called knowledge is out there about where and how much the cost abuse is and where to go get it. If it is so obvious, why has nothing been done to date? What makes anybody think the politicians will miraculously go into a cost reducing mode when history documents they never have....never will.

We will all in the long run have fewer services and higher costs for those. Plus to supplement what will have been lost we will pay more to retain or get back coverage we have been used to or still want.
