I'm reading posts all over the Internet where people are saying they will drop their coverage or not buy any. They'll wait until they are sick then buy in. Seriously thinking of doing that here. I don't know the answers to your questions. Write your congressperson.

"They keep saying the bill will give coverage to 30 million who are currently uninsured, with a lot of that subsidized. Exactly how do we uninsured sign up?" Who knows. Call your local consulate. I bet the ambassador is some political hack with close ties to Obama.

This bill has provisions that take place immediately. I heard this a few times on the news today, but no one said what the provisions are exactly. When it becomes law, what changes happen immediately? Working Americans won't realize they got screwed until the knife starts slicing their pay checks. Non-working Americans will see no change. They will still get free/subsidized housing, free utilities, free food stamps, free bus tickets, and free health care. Trini Lopez sang, "Everything is free in America." Lopez was right but only if you don't work.
