Re: [Still... if it even SLOWS DOWN the rate of increase in the costs our nation has been facing in this area, that alone will be an improvement.] "Yes but its more likely to increase the rate of the increase in the costs...." If it gets enacted then we will have a chance to see the real results, and not just speculate about them. And, if we don't like the real results (remember: many of the provisions would not phase-into-effect for several years) we will still have the opportunity to enact 'fixes', 'patches', or roll-out ever more serious cost-containment measures (which is something that I personally believe will be required... the problems of our far-too-costly health care are much to large for it to be otherwise, and too much is left out of this particular effort).
