Bucco: Please show where I exhibited satisfaction at the bill being passed. I am more than dissatisfied. To me, "Obamacare" started out as health care reform with a public option but ended up being welfare for the private insurance companies that helped get us into this mess.

I have no trouble with people disagreeing with me - I love a good debate. But please don't put words in my mouth.

And let me clarify my bit about how nobody is screaming about costs. It would have been more accurate of me to say that the screaming is almost entirely about politics and demagoguery.

Nobody - not one single legislator to my knowledge - and please correct me if I'm wrong - has proposed so much as a study to put down in writing WHY our costs are so high. My *theory* is that nobody wants to tick off the ABA (the lawyers that profit) or the AMA (the doctors that profit from the control of our teaching hospitals) or Big Pharma that can charge US ridiculous prices for medicines that other countries get for a fraction of what we pay (as we apparently foot the bill for the world's research and development).

Obamacare turned out to be much more treating the symptom instead of the disease.
