Soooo . . . no public option, and no medicare buy-in. Funny how a little competition from the supposedly bloated, inefficient government became so totally unacceptable. I guess we owe it to those insurance companies who nurture and protect us so lovingly . . .
On the bright side - if you had told me in 2004 that in this decade we'd have a $900 billion bill that would provide subsidies to most of the uninsured, ban discrimination based on pre-existing conditions, place a cap on premium costs for low-income workers, cap out-of-pocket expenses, cover more preventive services, expand Medicaid, and end gender discrimination in premium charges, all while shrinking the federal deficit... I'd have said you were tripping on mescaline.
