This bill didn't go far enough to cut costs, as you well know. I don't dispute that.

Thanks to conservatives once again for vehemently opposing the public option.

Didnt go far enough ?

In what reality will costs go down when you increase demand and supply goes down ?

There is no progress in a world where government programs, SS MC DMV USPS, all are costing taxpayers billions of $$'s and the response from the current admin is to install yet another Trillion $ entitlement program.

Thanks for the response re premiums MM. Your answer is they will not be going down but thats progress right ?

A reality does not exist where government entitlements are the solution to a pre existing set of entitlements that are already bankrupting this country.

Agree ?

It probably does bend the cost curve, but there is every reason to think it bends it upwards. Coverage requirements increase cost. Mandates for buying coverage, might decrease costs per person covered, but will likely increase the total cost.
