re: #321 albusteve

I think the complexity of the legislation has evolved to the point where it will not be possibly to predict outcomes. Healthcare legislation will spawn hundreds of follow-up bills and an entire industry will spring up to guide people through the thicket of regulations. As always, lawyers, lobbyists and self-proclaimed “experts” will feast on the old, sick, infirm and uneducated. This for me is the true tragedy of this bill.

The only potential silver lining I can discern is that this legislation will destroy healthcare in this country to the point where we have to start from scratch to build a simple system where people pay a reasonable amount for care, doctors earn a comfortable living, medical education does not leave health professionals hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and malpractice insurance costs are not a multiple of the average U.S. family income.
