That would seem to be understandable. The bill is not in it's final

it in it's entirety.

I'm sorry my friend, but it's not understandable.

I'm taking the time to read it, understand it and get specifics,
directly from the bill, ask questions and participate as a citizen. I
would expect our political leadership to do the same.

I respect your ambition. You have considerable reading ahead of you.
Once you get through the House bill, there will be the Senate bill, then
the reconciliation bill, ...

I might also point out that informed, concerned citizens are being
called a "mob" for participating in Democracy - as is my right, your
right and everyone's right.

Most people understand the differences between concerned citizens, and
mobs. Mobs are disruptive. But hey, whatever floats your boat. I'm
sure our democracy will survive.

I have a feeling that this is only the begining of the push back.

It's about time.

Maybe, but on health care, it's reaching critical mass, rapidly becoming
20%GDP. That is unsustainable. Health care in this country is broken,
and something will be done about it. The status quo can not continue.
