That is the bottom line for me.

And 6.9 million people have health care who didn't have it before. Bottom line is everyone was paying for the health care of those 6.9 million people through increased insurance and hospital costs.
And pre-existing conditions are no longer an issue. (They were with me.) And your kids are covered longer, saving you many health insurance dollars while they're still in college. (Money we paid for our kids).
This will take a while, but it will end up being as good a deal as Medicare, which many also hated at the time. It would take a lot less time if the insurance companies had not lobbied against the single payer system.
We NEED to reform health care and medical costs in this country. This is a start.
