Well amazingly enough Congress actually passes health care reform. Much weaker than I would like to see, but at least it's something - I hope. What I would really like to see is Canadian style health care here. I really don't see any reason why health care should be delivered by for profit companies. I really wanted to see a single payer system, or at least a government option, but no, we have to stick with the capitalist model. You know the definition of a capitalist don't you? A capitalist will sell you the rope you use to hang him.
Why would they have to make it illegal to revoke coverage of someone who gets sick? Wouldn't you think that would already be illegal??
Anyway, I hope this bill will go a long way to addressing many of the shortcomings in our current system. Hopefully people can begin to make decisions based on something other than the overriding fear of losing their health insurance.
I for one am grateful that reform has passed, and hope that the move to a single payer system will continue.
