Frankly folks, in my opinion, with the passing of the TOTAL MESS of a healthcare bill, we have lost any chance of doing anything about anything for many years.

First of all, this bill is such a mess and so politically put together that our future congress's will be spending pretty much all of their time discussing required legislation that this bill calls for ! So much of this bill calls for the increase in many taxes not to happen until 2018. Now think about it....the congress of that year has to vote in these new taxes...one is the cadillac tax. So lets assume that politicians will find a way NOT to add those taxes, thus the CBO report is smoke and mirrors, and the cadillac tax was/is important in the

Remember that the CBO when they announced to the glee of the Democrats that this would reduce the deficit, they said a lot of IFS.

Also in this bill, a 3.9 percent medicaire tax on investments and capital gains...anyone think tihs will deflate our economy and growth...think another bailout of some kind. This should totally stunt growth and wages.

The states are getting beat to death with this boondoogle of a bill and will need help quickly.

And insurance premiums are going to skyrocket, and you MUST buy insurance, or get penalized...think government help in that area.

This bill will NOT reduce the deficit...because all the IF's in the CBO report are not going to happen.

Our congress and future congress's are going to spend all their time on THIS ONE SINGLE STUPID POLITICAL MESS and are not going to be able to address all the things you folks are talking about !
