I was venting, more than anything else. I'm frustrated by the fact that, indeed, there are a few things with our HC system (some payment-related, some routine-care-related) that could stand a little tweaking.
I'm caught between Liberals, who want to make a massive power grab, scrap the whole deal and start over again, and Conservatives who (frankly are forced) into saying "NO" to any reform that currently gets proposed. The liberal position is utterly stupid, and the conservative position is forced to stand firm by the extreme position taken by the liberals. In the end, everyone loses except the lawmakers who have their own separate HC system and thus don't care.
I'm still completely convinced that Obamacare is a horrific farce. I just wish that common sense would break out and people would talk about the real issues (Tort reform, overcrowded ERs, an overwhelming influx of illegals, to name three) ....rather than madeup numbers like "40-odd-million uninsured".
..most of them were lawyers, overcrowded ER's are congress's fault by not enforcing laws and in some cases hindering law enforcement, and three the liberal voting block...the stupidity factor...that isn't gonna change
