"Efficiencies in the system.." Yeah - like, the government has always been so efficient in the past.

The 3000 page Health Care Mandate Trojan Horse Bill is indicative of a sheepish population led by paid experts, lobbyists & politicians..

"Mandate"cloaked as "reform" is equally indicative of rampant stupidity directed at the confused, perpetrated by paid idols, endorsed by lonely flailing desperate fools,...hopelessly swallowed up in a culture of rampant runaway entitlement mentality...

Kill the bill..

Pork em hard..

Vote em out..

Nobody wants it...

If any 1 really wants to trust a govt. in debt that has come up with 1000+ pages of questionable legislation because they know we the people don't have time to read it, then I say let them implement it and see the results a year from now. True refrm shouldn't tke yrs to implement, but something tells me govt. nowadays cherry picks what they want to do and what they want to enforce. I've my doubts about today's system of govt. given that expanded govt. has caused more problems then it has solved.

and if anyone is truly wondering, yes I don't trust the govt. as they have had since the time I was born to correct wrongs and do the right thing in the U.S. I say look at the makeup of your representatives and look how Ted Kennedy was still allowed to serve. Had ethics been implemented back in the late sixties, then Ted Kennedy's career would've been over. I think there is still a lack ethics given some the fact that there are some that might not be to fit to serve the American public.

the final point I can make is a year from now from when this future legislation passes, if rates truly come down then perhaps I may vote accordingly and keep the Dems in power. If things are still the same from now and if it is still the same B.S., then I'm voting otherwise and it will not be 4 Dems or Reps. It doesn't take years to implement a plan and this legislation should start taking effect immediately once it is passed. I want to see what the results really are months from now.

WS, if insurance companies have really gone out of scope, then I'd probably say eliminate them altogether and go to a single payor system rather than let insurance companies keep getting paid. Personally I think all the govt. had to do was expand medicare/medicaid for all and then the problem would've been solved. I honestly don't know how much of a role we really want to give to insurance companies but that is just one realistic view if one truly thinks govt. is the way out.

[shaithis45]

then we agree on something. "ONCE it is affordable" and perhaps every plan should offer some type of preventive care. So as with anything give it time and let's see if things get resolved in the next 3-4 years but I'm hoping immediately if this upcoming reform actually fixes it. On auto insurance, I control whether or not I have it and it is not like I'm in a town with effective mass transit so nd a car. Don't drive it to work though because I'm only 20+ minutes away by bike :)

Who controls whether or not you have auto insurance? What's the difference?
