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.

"unintended consequenses" - is that like collateral damage?
"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." - i guess nancy pelosi was right!
"Without question the final bill was the culmination of ..." - i thought it was all based on romneycare in ma, no?
"...the cost of the uninsured recieving "free" healthcare..." - does that mean that my state budget will be able to remove the amount budgeted for the uncompensated care fund every year? i bet not. there will ALWAYS be the patient that applies for 'charity care' prices that the fund will have to pay for.
has anyone seen a decrease in their cost for health care since any of the provisions of obamacare took effect? i can respond with a big NO - have only seen my mthly payment increase. and soon i will have to go on medicare if i wish to continue heath ins - and pay for both a and b plans and a medco equivalent of plan d. will be paying scads more and hafta wonder how much less service will be available after medicare funds are drained away by obamacare.
