Well, I've been trying to get back to this/my thread all day to say something positive.
The H of R voted openly, fair and square, and with that I am content...as that satisfies the gripes and worries I tried to articulate in the OP.

I do not know what the future holds, but I hope it is good. On a personal level, metaphorically, I suppose I am paraphrasing what I have heard others say...in that those who once had "Cadillac" healthcare will maybe now have buick or pontiac insurance. And those that had no healthcare will at least have volkswagen beetle or Nissan Versa insurance. LOL. I am sure that is a vast oversimplification. (I am no politician or economist, so anyone who understands this all better, please feel free to express it better and more precisely than I have.)
I hope I heard wrong that people who fail to acquire insurance will be subject to fines. That just didn't sound right.

I know Lauren (Hypancistrus) started a newer thread on the healthcare subject.

I don't have anything of substance to add, just opinion. No matter what the government passes I think the days of "Cadillac" health care plans are over. Unless you are on government payroll. It seems a lot of people whos salaries and benefits come from tax money still have better than average health care. Don't get me wrong it's only a matter of time before their benefits have to fall in line with the general public.

As for fines for those without health insurance I agree it's wrong. But it seems to be the trend to make it a law you have to have insurance for everything, house, car, health ect. If fines don't do the trick jail time is next?
