At the regulatory level the real decisions will be made. Once the framework gets passed without much review the socialists will start the real work of denying care.

Over the last couple of decades the trend has, indeed, been to pass sketchy law and let the regulatory process work out more than just the details. I find that unfortunate, too.

However, I think you underestimate the deliberation process involved in implementing regulations. I have been engaged in resolving comments on proposed regulations. They get a lot of input from a lot of sources and extreme positions prevail only when interested parties fail to participate. I regret the amount of effort it takes for interested parties to participate and the cost of that activity but the results are typically sensible middle ground.

Again, I think you are letting your concerns exaggerate the likelihood of a worst case scenario. I don't question the path to the worst case scenario. I only suggest that it's likelihood is way closer to none than to slim and too far out there to be a real probability.
