is not too happy with obama

so either you're bull****ting or you're lying.

Let's see what the hall open season has to offer, then you decide how
great this "free" health care plan is working. The insurance company
is already hiking the rates for the families who want to take
advantage of the preexisting condition and those who want to put
their 20 somethings on the policy.
The big medicine people will do just fine. They are going to sell more
government paid for drugs and doctors/hospitals will get more
patients. I still have not seen anything to control the cost, They
just increased availability

There's no "free healthcare plan" as you well know. It's a capitalistic
system. Again, enough of the crazy misinformation.

If they're "hiking the rates," then it must not be free. You've got
yours, but you're unwilling to let anyone else in? That's what it sounds
like.

The key to understanding gfretwell is to realize that no matter the
issue or politician, what he mostly sees is the downside or the moral
equivalence of everyone and everything. In his eyes, Jonas Salk and Dick
Cheney are no better than each other. :)

My job was always "the fixer" so I look at things as what can go wrong
and what can you do about it.
In the case of Obamacare, the Senate bill was written be a couple
United Health Care lobbyists so "what could go wrong" is very easy to
predict

I don't buy your premise. I see the bill that passed as only a first
step. Further, the bill was all that could be passed.
