The Flying Spaghetti Monster comes down and turns her into a Republican. Ain't that an ugly fate? She'll behave.

quehubo;

Much like Medicare cost projections Obamacare will be drive usage up and healthcare as a % of GDP through the roof.

I suspect you're right and you know what I have to say to that? Republicans shouldn't have been such arsholes and done something when they were in power. It's not like our health care crept up on us in the middle of the night. But instead of doing something, anything, they punted the ball off to the next team. Well you know what? The next team did something and because republicans did absolutely nothing when they had the chance they should just shut up. They are increasingly looking like fools and whiners.

>>I am still waiting to see how Obama care gets us $100 MRI's like the Japanese were reported here to have.<<

The Japanese health insurance industry is far more tightly regulated than ours is going to be under the new healthcare laws. So don't expect the kind of benefits that such regulation would provide.
