In any case, the PPACA and the individual mandate isn't about helping the old and sick. It's about forcing all of us in to the insurance company pens.
And there I might agree with you.
Medicare for everyone would be better.
You know damn well that's the final outcome of this bill. Insurance companies will go belly up being FORCED to cover everything under the moon. Prices will skyrocket to cover the costs and eventually the system will collapse.
It's the goal, and only a blind partisan fool would deny it.
Perhaps your side should have agreed to a Public Options then... then Insurance Companies would have to COMPETE with government to provide their services at a competitive rate. After all... you guys say government can't do anything right... so Competing would've been an easy task...right?
