Exactly what the American people will be in if the Senate and House listen to Al.

Alarmist obstructionism as always...

I just know what doctors are going to do when a lot of the legislation goes into effect. Hint: you won't like it.

The good news is most of the "reform" in this bill won't take effect from 3-5 years. Plenty of time for it to be repealed should the Democrats mistakenly think this is a good idea.

there is plenty of ammunition to convince most Americans it is time for change.

LOL... because the American people haven't heard enough about Healthcare for the past year (not including the presidential campaign process)

This is truely where the advantage of having Fox News clearly on one side of an issue does make things more difficult for our side

Your side has MSNBC, its not my side's fault that nobody watches.

This bill has not ever been clearly explained

Now that we agree on. If it ever were, you and the majority of congress and Americans everywhere would be siding with the American College of Surgeons against this bill.

I hope so. I want this country to go hard left. If Obama can't do it then I want anybody that can. I'd even vote for Franken if I thought he could give me socialism.

That's not a great selling point for Obamacare.

A characteristic shared by American doctors paid by health insurance companies.

uh, no... Doctors right now are making what they should be for the time, training and money it takes to become a doctor.

Under this plan, they'll start seeing their wages decrease (particularly the Specialists), and I'm betting that will increase over time since its the easiest way to cut costs. Just stop paying the people who provide it.

And when that happens, the best doctors will begin telling their patients they no longer accept any insurance. While the doctors with poorer training and less skills will still accept it to make a living. This will lead to a two tier system where only the rich can afford to see good doctors and everyone else will be stuck with poor care.

hmmm don't get out much do you WOB?
It is already happening.

On some level yes it is happening. Back in Philly one of the better ortho groups only took cash. But for the most part today that is the exception not the rule. Sure typically only the super rich athletes are going to see James Andrews down in Alabama, but there are plenty of surgeons trained by him that anyone can go see. That will begin to change if Obama gets his wish, because Obamacare fucks with the pay of surgeons. So yeah, in some cases the two tier system exists but currently there are enough doctors not taking cash only to balance out.

Our Health Care system is broken Wobby.

No, it isn't. There are areas that should be improved like getting access for the poor and taking them from the ERs, pre-existing condition clauses, and healthcare caps along with tort reform.

But while this bill addresses some of those, it also does a lot of terrible stuff that Americans will regret.
