Tough titty, Floridians.

Prime example of a badly written law. Maybe if they had not rammed through
an unread law at the last minute, the law might actually work.

And it only took two or three years to straighten out Medicare problems
when it was introduced...

Medicare still has lots of problems. Mostly cost. Was only going to cost
$500 million when they brought it out. You actually pointed out a major
problem in one of the other theads. You are going to MediCare as it is
much cheaper and does not burdon your present insurance company. Someone
has to pay, and that is the taxpayers, and since we are borrowing 40% of
the money we spend! that means.my grand kids and their kids will pay the
bills, maybe. Too many last minute, rushed through the pipe laws have
created major problems in the last 20 years, and probably before that.
California rushed through a energy deregulation law a few years ago. We
are still paying more for energy because of that. Allowed Enron and
Calpine and others to buy PG&E and SDGE generating facilities that the
state said the utilities had to sell at bargain basement prices. Then the
utility companies had to pay whatever the wholesaler wanted as only the
retail price was controlled, not the wholesale price. PGE went bankrupt at
the time.
