The political response (spin) as opposed to actually examing what this means is what concerns me.

I’m absolutely for health care reform and the ACA is a good start. That said, my concern is the costs, both short and long term.

The talking points of ‘saving money’ are nice but have you ever heard of a government program that actually ended saving money?

I would have much rather seen a phased in program and allow insurance companies to sell across state lines, like they do with car insurance and other kinds of insurance.

The insurance industry lobbied Washington hard because they didn’t want that (competition!) and we’re all going to pay for that.
