The law as it stands has thousands of “parts”. Some are bound to be good.
Hopefully they’ll annhiliate the current law and create a new one from scratch rather than try to modify the current law.
I would not assume the bill has any good parts. It may have good parts only if you assume as the democrats did: the problems in our health care system are caused by too little government regulation and too much free market. I heartily agree with you, they should nuke the whole thing
Health care is already one of the most heavily regulated industries in the nation. Many of the 'problems' with the current system that is so horrible (until you compare to every other country with socialized medicine) is the amount of regulation. The courts have allowed malpractice suits to be made and successful even with very little grounds. The FDA drives the up the costs of prescription drugs, and the list goes on. More regulation is not and is almost never the answer.
I have said before that this is one of my greatest concerns if the Republicans simply reform the health care bill. It allows the principles of the bill to stand and simply pushes the most tyrannically aspects of the law down the road to be added the next time the Democrats get the chance. It will be interesting if this story starts to emerge in the drive-by or moderate media. I would expect those (Ann Coulter) who have already been willing to endorse Romney care to by fine with having him oversee a reform of Obama care. Only time will tell.
“I would not assume the bill has any good parts”
Well, the most frightening thing is not the parts but the whole thing, which is running us broke, is incomprehensible, and is orchestrated by people with impure motives. We citizens have a tough problem.
Running out of money might be the only thing that stops the growth of our governmental monsters.
