• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Perhaps, but comparing us to other nations is not the issue. The issue is the drastic overhaul of a healthcare system that (although in need of improvements for certain) did NOT require impacting the entirety of the U.S. populace. There is a segment of our population that needed coverage, but even though the healthcare system wasn't perfect - it was NOT broken. The economic impact of all these changes (the totality of which - now becoming apparent) is horrific. At a time when our economy was already fragile, this promises to push us over the edge.

And, as I had originally posted, I thought this was supposed to REDUCE our costs?

Not a good situation for this country. NC

And unfortunately, it now appears by the governments own estimates, there will still be something like 30 million people not covered even under the new program; not really a dramatic increase in overall coverage.
