>> We can afford less costly healthcare like the rest of the world has, but we can't afford the high cost health care that we have.

If our health care is less costly it is going to also be lower quality. These changes are coming -- nurse practitioners and PAs are doing more and will continue to do more. Capital investment will be curtailed and that means longer lines and more traveling and inconvenience for patients. And American innovations that have saved lives the world over are going to slow materially.

The legislation was never about cost control as you indicated.

Power grab.

"We can afford less costly healthcare like the rest of the world has,"

Great, how about we do that???? Maybe we could rise above 37the in the world. Maybe we could reduce the deaths due to hospital mistakes by 1/2 to only 100,000. You seem to be an expert on the subject, how about giving us a plan......your party pals were tongue tied...
