81. have you checked out the costs for a middle-income person or family of this bill??
Totally unaffordable! For one person making more than 43K, up to 12% of income--that's at least 5K. Then, copays/deductibles/cost-sharing up to 5K a year.

This is a good deal for a single person??!! Gets worse for more people!

Remember, affordable means $100 or so a month--that's what other industrialized countries do.

This bill is a windfall to the insurance corporations with some carrots to make it look as if something decent is happening. But, it's not happening--this is piddly health INSURANCE reform, not health CARE provision.
