2. So it saved the feds money

HCR was always about saving the feds money, but not people actually in need of health CARE. It was an insurance reform bill that has saved the feds money (well reduced the rate of increase to the feds) or providing insurance. For the rest of us, health CARE will continue to go up at about 7% a year.

Obamacare isn't perfect. It's not set in stone. Stuff is going to go wrong and it's going to get fixed.


How will it get fixed? By the same Blue Dogs that gave us this? By the same White House that decided mandates were a good idea? Exactly where will the political will be to "fix" the things that are wrong with it?

It's an insurance reform bill. What we needed was a health CARE reform bill. One that actually worked to bring our health CARE costs in line with the rest of the friggin' world. Exactly how will we "fix" that going forward?
And yet they came out with a bullshit poll saying 47% of Americans think it should be repealed bigdarryl Mar 2012 #1
