You seem to think what was recently passed is the be-all and end-all. It
isn't.

I believe you are right.
As different parts of the health care bill go into effect, pricing will
change due to market forces and tax burden.
I see this in the shoe business all the time.
The marketplace at work.
It is as old as humanity.



I just think this bill is trying to shove a size 12 foot into a size 7
shoe. It was designed to fail and it will.


We'll see. Much will depend on design and marketing.
Air Jordans have become more affordable over the years, while
maintaining quality.
I love that shoe.
OTOH, you couldn't give the original Earth Shoes away.
We quit offering them long ago.
No matter what the claimed orthopedic advantage (still disputed)
customers were immediately turned off by their appearance.
Who wants to walk uphill all the time?

If you are referring to the original Kalso Earth Shoes, I thought the
company that produced them was long, long gone. I owned a pair of Kalso
Earth Boots, and I thought they were terrific. They were good sellers in
markets where literacy was high.

BTW, which long-time poster here are you really?
