This crap is only going to change if we (the "average" person that gets screwed by all this stuff) can get special interest groups out of the white house, and end contributions to political interests. Trust me, those guys vote with their wallets, just like you or I would do if we were in the same situation.
We also need to get costs down - on everything. That will mean everyone will have to take pay cuts. Not something I ever see happening in the good old "its my right" U.S. of A.
This bill is not a health care reform, its an insurance package. It does nothing but drive up the cost to anyone that isn't in poverty. I'm plain fed up with insurance companies. They continue to jack our rates, deny coverage, and reduce coverage, while at the same time posting record profits while the nation is in the worst economic status since the 30's. My wife was bitching about unions going on strike in this time - "how could they expect more when times are tough". Well, if the unions dont push big companies to put pressure on the insurance companies, who else is going to do it? Joe blow? I dont think so....
