re: #239 Racer X

The spittle was flying all over the place. “Parasites”; “Fat Cats”; “Profits”.

Sheesh.

I honestly liked the speech. I’m leaning towards giving Obama a chance at this one.

One big question:

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT FAILS TO LOWER COSTS, AND ACTUALLY RAISES HEALTH CARE COSTS FOR EVERYONE? WHAT IF OUR TAXES GET RAISED EVEN HIGHER TO PAY FOR THIS?

What do we do then? Can we go back to private? Or will it be way too late to go back?

Please tell me how opening the market, to increase competition, and providing consumer protections with a minimum coverage option is going to make private insurance go away?
