They actually pulled it off...they call it a victory. 219-212 was the final tally in the House. 35 Democrats and all of the Republicans voted NO! There are, at last count, 14 states that are filing lawsuits claiming the unconstitutionality of the Obama Care Health Bill. The administrative issues, mandates, organizational chaos will be tremendous. There will be battles in courtrooms around the nation for decades. Long after President Obama, Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Reid are gone...the lawyers will be raking in the loot. You and I will be paying the tab....billions. The result will be that maybe, just maybe the 10% of our current population that doesn't have health care(not counting the illegals that should go home)will receive some form of health care.
The real problem is the legal profession that defies any attempt to alter the limits on medical or malpractice lawsuits. If the government would reign these folks in, the insurance companies could ease up on their premiums. If the states would allow the underwriters to cross state lines the free market would kick in and the insurance companies, once again could reduce their premiums. If there was some pressure on the insurance companies by interest groups then maybe...you guessed it, the insurance companies could reduce...you get it. If we could form a nation health pool, administered by an independent source, then maybe...just maybe the insurance companies could reduce their premiums; Doctors would stay in the game and could make a decent living...Medicaide would still be in effect and maybe in the black and because there would be reasonable premiums for everyone...maybe the emergency rooms might clear out somewhat and the hospitals, once again, may be come solvent...just a thought.
Later,
