I think HCR is needed and it pains me that so many Americans cannot get the medical care they need, our medical system is very wasteful as it is and that needs a closer look, I dont mind my tax dollars being spent to help others who have no healthcare---MANY of which are just out of college invididuals who cant stay on mom and dads plan and have no job yet of their own with HC bennefits---but the shit they proposed, IMO, was not real reform and shows they were never serious to begin with, it was indeed another bailout but this time for insurane companies.
My prediction, there will be no real reform, something new will happen that will refdefine Obama's presidency and HCR will be tabled and forgotten.
