    I mean listen at the end of the day, in terms of cost control no one really knows what the outcomes will be. There is no way some guy sitting in an office somewhere can project 20 years into the future and know for sure. I'm not even sure the government can do all that much to massively drive down costs short of radically reshaping the industry, which of course would be even more politically untenable than what just got passed.

    But when you compare the site above, where you've got a 100-page document which ONLY covers the subject of reforming the HC delivery process, to this kind of shit:

    for me that basically sums up the reason why I'll vote for Democrats. It's not a matter of being liberal, it's just that Republicans are not serious at all. Even the bill they proposed, was rated by the CBO as costing MORE than the Democratic one. So if there are some magical ideas out there that aren't being considered, they were not ones that the Republicans put in their bill.

    • but theyre projecting a cut in the deficit. how can you buy into what you cant buy into? im just asking questions needed to be addressed
      ********
    • be addressed. the whole point was to lower hc costs i thought so that more peopel could consume. yet it turned out to mandate coverage without cost control
      ********
    • mandate or subsidize total coverage instead of cost control. its just upsetting
      ********
    • upsetting that this will be liek a fdr win. when in reality were still payign for fdr's ability to see things long term.
      ********
    • but if long term projections are pointless using reasons then whatever you cant argue against it. well you can but theres deaf ears
      ********
    • only get deaf ears. i find it more interesting to understand how peopel refuse to except what is common sense if it meets there desires
      ********
    • to meet what they want that cake and eat it too scenario. i blame that more then all the politics. maybe its genetic
      ********
    • but im rambling. let me salute the victory of higher costs to all unconcerned
      ********
