How will that happen? He did absolutely nothing to reduce costs. The
drug industry is unfettered, the medical conglomerates were not
touched and the insurance companies just got 15 million new customers
at the point of a government gun with no meaningful restriction of
what they could charge them.

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

To the contrary,
I doubt it was much more than a symbolic victory for the Democrats.
If anything it is part of a long term plan to destroy the insurance
industry and substitute that public plan the democrats want.

god, i hope so. if we do away with the insurance companies perhaps
we'll have a REAL healthcare system

The only
problem with that idea is we would then have to bail out insurance
company workers. Nobody really wants to cut into 17% of the economy,
no matter how hard they rail against it.

and, of course, tomorrow it will be 20, then 25% then 30...
