It is hard to say exactly what will happen in the long run...
Well that sums up my point exactly. Maybe the GM deal was OK, maybe not, I don't know, the jury is still out on that one. The folks that made that decision had access to considerably more data than any of us. At this point, I think it was a good call, just my opinion based on the data I do have available. Some say they should have just flat out let them fail, I disagree.

Uhmericuh? And that implies? Man, you just don't get it. The Nazi inside you once again rears it's ugly head. Which strongly suggests your not a "smart guy"! By the way, "Altlas Shrugged", well, Jamo covered that.

Back to the topic at hand, HEALTH CARE REFORM:
Few, if any, around here, have actually read the 1,000 page bill. Your forming your opinions largely on what others are saying, what you percieve to be the final end product, we have little else to go on, in other words, your GUT! We don't know WHAT the end product will be yet, maybe a public option, for instance, maybe not. Discussion like this and in other forums can and will have an impact on the final product, that's a good thing. Depending on how it's structured, some will like it, some won't, maybe I will, maybe I won't. I'll reserve judgement on it until the issues become more clear, until the bill has been given more time. I DO support some kind of public option!

It's clear we need some kind of Governement over sight into how health care is managed. The HMO's, drug companies, etc CANNOT be counted on to regulate themselves.
