I do believe this will have a positive impact on reducing over all health care costs. When the pressure is on American business sharpens their pencil, cut's the waste and figures out a way to stay in business. I'm confident the insurance industry will not only overcome future obstacles but will thrive because of them!
Now, the value to the country as a whole is worth investing in by raising taxes on a select and targeted group(s). In conjunction with cost savings and more efficient operation of existing programs. I don't automatically assume the Government will fail in this endeavor and the costs will soar as a result. Quite the opposite in fact! I see private industry stepping up to the plate, adapting and finding new ways to control the ever increasing costs of health care. I see Governments roll in that as a carrot and a stick. Figure it out or get out. If we don't figure out how to reduce health care costs we are doomed whether we do this bill or not.

Well, to be argumentative for its own sake or to represent the opposite of strongly held views as strongly, i.e. fight right-wing partisan rhetoric with equally left-wing partisan rhetoric is a total waste of time, isn't it? If all your doing is trying to push people's buttons, it doesn't really elevate the discourse or achieve anything but masochistic satisfaction. Geez, that's not very nice if that's what's going on.
