57. Come on folks the Devil is in the Details...
Who is going to pay for it? VT hasn't figured it out yet. I mean it all sounds grand but Health Care is a service that costs a lot of money, unless of course the government takes over full control of the health industry and sets pay rates for doctors etc, etc... but I don't think anyone wants to go there... aside from the pre-existing conditions argument the reason why young healthy people in America aren't lining up to fork out hundreds of dollars a month for health insurance is simply because it costs too much and jobs just don't pay enough of a living wage to afford it..so...

Whats going to change?

Healthcare is still going to cost only now many that don't pay for it will be forced to pay for it and when I say pay for it I mean in one form or another directly out of paychecks, deductions by employers, increased costs to consumers, less jobs.... It sucks but lets be honest nothing is free.

Its like finding that elusive free energy, hell I hate my electric bill and I hate everything OIL and would put up a windmill in my yard and cover my house in solar panels to avoid paying for energy, I also want a Nissan Leaf but these things are all out of my price range.
