Sorry for interrupting but one of those polls where the question leads the respondent only in my opinion.

As I have said before, the law, when fully implemented, will produce some unintended consequenses, which will be amended and improved over time. There are many moving parts in the law, and most are not fully understood, and probably won't be until the law actually takes full effect. There are some attempts to contain costs, but I never was aware of that being the primary thrust of the bill. I always saw the primary thrust to be making health care coverage available and affordable for all. Without question the final bill was the culmination of a piece here from dems, a piece there from repubs, and a piece out of the middle from the insurance lobby and special interests in the healthcare community. The "hidden tax" we all pay currently, is the cost of the uninsured recieving "free" healthcare, which is actually paid by the rest of us.
