Reply #116: We might have been better off if they had done nothing

as it stands it looks like the only "reform" we'll see is the forced transfer of our money to the insurance companies.

The "system" as it currently exists will collapse if something isn't done and if it collapsed, Congress might have had to step in by extending Medicare. Instead, they chose to go with another corporate bail out.

This bill allows for high deductibles so, while you're being "mandated" to pay premiums to the insurance companies, you'll also be looking at out of pocket expenses that are so high you still won't be able to access care.
