Private insurance companies will not go anywhere unless people who use private insurance companies choose to no longer use them.

The health care bill is intended to cover only a [relatively] small amount of Americans.

I find it strange that many of the most publically rabid opponents of any health care bill are not consistent in their beliefs, and are not campaigning in favor of eliminating all government-run "socialist" medicine, such as Medicare, Medicade, and the Veterans programs.

For a supposedly business friendly Republican you take an awful lot of anti-business stances. For a program that is only "intended to cover a small amount of Americans", a few trillion is pretty hefty price no?

The idea that anyone who doesnt agree with the policy coming down from the mountaintop is spreading falsehoods and lies is ironic. The fact is that this is going to be exactly what it looks like, a huge boondoggle that eats up everything along the way and becomes so large that it simply exists to live and lives to exist. This is just another part of a radical agenda. The fact that Medicare and Medicade are so screwed up and inefficent should be warning enough that this **** they are trying to squeeze through will be miles worse. Not to mention the negative effect it will have on American small business which as usual will be forced to carry an unfair burden.
