Let me preface my remarks with the fact that some folks continue to ignore the limits of nature. It may feel good but it is beyond the government's reach to provide everything to everybody. Secondly Obama gained support of Pharma and the health care providers because he promised them a big payout in the form of 100% participation in his plan that would eventually become a single payer plan.

Certainly there is not a perfect plan but the existing health care system with some modification was very doable. Instead Obama chose to throw out the baby with the bath water as he did with some of his other pet projects. In his haste to control he ignored the nations priorities and we are all suffering for it.

There have been sound suggestions by a number of learned people in how to handle our healthcare system without radical changes.

I believe it was Ddoug who p;ointed out in an earlier post that the real impetus of this plan will roll out in 2014. Hmmm after the election...wonder why?

The CBO has already found that a number of projected estimates are already shown to be well understated.

ObamaCare will be a disaster. We need to keep the present system and modify it to be more workable. a final thought there continues to be a shortage of doctors, especially primary care doctors exacerbated by an aging population needing more care. Just what do you think will happen with a claim of providing serivces to so many? Rationing will occur and guess what old timers when they do their quality valuations whee on the totem pole do you think we will sit?
