Nobody will be affected unless they are uninsured and can now get insurance. Nobody has to change or give up their current health plan. It may become less expensive to you. And of course, you won't have to worry about being thrown off your current insurance plan after you have a claim, or worry about all companies refusing to insure you because you've had a previous health problem, or worry about losing your current insurance because you can't afford COBRA and you've lost your job.

Please, show me where the government will "control" my health care and make my healthcare decisions for me. Where they will tell me what I can have done, where I can have it done, and who will do it. Of course, my insurance company tells me that right now - here's the hospitals in your plan, here's the doctors in your plan, and here's what we will pay for. Unless, of course, we change our mind after you make the claim, then we can just arbitrarily decide not to pay after we've said we will.

That will stop. Yes, That's government control, I suppose - passing law not allowing insurance companies to do that to their clients anymore.

But go ahead. Tell me how the government will control my health care, and make my healthcare decisions for me. Something ... concrete and factual. Not just, "You just don't get it!" or "Are you kidding?" or "Oh, yeah, they will!" or "Sputter, sputter, anger, anger, I hate the government!"
