    when does this law take effect?

    • 2012-2014. Enough time
      for the Republicans and the
      Health Industry to make plenty
      of money off Americans...
      utopian
    • then they get to make money off Americans by LAWeieio
    • haha yeah utopian you don't think this was a win for insurance companies and pharma?? Did you see the stockmathinc
    • market today? They're in utopia over this bill.mathinc
    • But yeah I know I know, this bill is really to help the people of this country. So genuine these politicians are.mathinc
    • The people who voted for this bill REALLY stuck it to big pharma and the insurance companies today! haha.mathinc
    • They just gained a boat load of new customers. I'll bet their trying to figure out how to salvage their business!mathinc
    • Or maybe you can help people while also creating opportunities for the industry?ukit
    • fuck.. grammar fail I meant: *they'remathinc
    • Is that completely crazy? I guess you'd prefer that the markets had tanked...?ukit
    • ukit, no one is being helped unless costs are being reduced. No one. Costs aren't being addressed and the customer pool has just gotten bigger.. who wins?mathinc
    • pool has just gotten bigger.. who wins? Who do you think wins in this?mathinc
    • If what you got out of what I said was that I wished the markets tanked then you're a fucking idiot. I pointed out the markets to show you thatmathinc
    • to illustrate that the insurance and pharma are winners because of this bill.mathinc
    • Who wins? How bout the 32 million people who couldn't get insurance?ukit
    • 2 + 2 ukit, 2 + 2.mathinc
    • Oh that's great that they fixed the access part of healthcare. Now how about the actual reason those 32 mil didn't have the fucking access to begin with?mathinc
    • fucking access to begin with? You're right though, everyone wins. People who couldn't get insurance, the insurance companies themselvesmathinc
    • "Oh that's great"
      Yeah big fucking deal! 32 million people just got access to health care for the first time.
      ukit
    • companies themselves, big pharma, doctors, they all won, so why didn't we do this sooner you might wonder? Ohhh right, reality.mathinc
    • reality is why we didn't do it sooner. What a shame that whole reality thing.mathinc
    • Insurance companies can't drop you when you get cancer. Whoop di fucking do!ukit
    • Ukit, why didn't they have access?mathinc
    • Simple question.. why didn't they have access?mathinc
    • Since I have to get back to work.. cost was the reason they didn't have access. Since cost is why they didn't have access thenmathinc
    • exactly what were the tough decisions that were made to fix the cost (and vis a vis access) problem? None.mathinc
    • Mandate the access, fuck the cost problem. Seems like a good solid long term solution to me.... brainless.mathinc
    • And I love how you act like I could care less about the people who didn't have ins. I do. I was one of them a year agomathinc
    • and I'm a diabetic. This is just not how you go about solving things as far as I'm concerned. It's a political win, not a practical win.mathinc
    • most people will get heavy subsidies. combine that with local insurance exchanges to get better rates an millions more can now afford itspifflink
    • can now afford it.spifflink
