- If we do nothing, we will still pay the federal tax. The poor and uninsured will continue to go to the emergency room, and they will transfer the costs to other Hospital users and Health Insurance Companies, who will cost-shift general insurance premiums ever higher. That's not the way!

-
- Judging by the amount of comments, and the polarity of views, the new reform will probably not work well. Perhaps we should go back to the drawing board again. We need a healthcare system that controls costs - the old and new systems both don't. First, we don't need the bureaucracy of health insurance companies. Next, we need to get away from an employment based system. And finally, the fee for service model is dysfunctional - it is better to have wellness care then illness care.

- Don't get me wrong, I don't think the 54% reduction I previously mentioned indicates that healthcare reform is going to solve all the problems of our dysfunctional, bankrupting system. My situation was a very high deductible policy that didn't cover squat. The insurance company had to reduce it because it was such a massive rip-off, and there may be some competition in the future. Healthcare reform was a sell-out to powerful interests, and has no price controls. I can't wait to get on Medicare, a (somewhat) single-payer, universal system that (somewhat) works. We needed an improvement on this type of platform.

- United Healthcare notified me last month that my premiums are to be REDUCED 54% effective March 1st. I get free preventative care now also. I'm thinking this is an improvement!

- It will not work. You cannot get good, affordable care without controlling the ever-escalating costs. We should have gone with universal-single payer. Like the VA.

- Those in most religions who think that their God is better then the God in other religions are misguided and dangerous to mankind. Almost as much as Nationalism - waving a flag and saying your Country is better then other Countries. Just love your fellow man.......Amen.

- All the Canadians I have talked to love their Health Care System. In America we have a for-profit system that is very expensive, inefficient, and is failing to serve many of our people. Obamacare is also severly flawed and like the present system, destined to fail. Perhaps we will eventually turn to a universal, single-payer system like the rest of the developed world has adopted.
