The provincial choo-choo train has quickly morphed into a Bullet Monorail from here to eternity.
Hurry, hurry...come see Dr. Somnambula...his Oil Elixir of Change is new and unique. It will make the tall short, the short tall, the loud silent, the silent loud, the ugly beautiful and the beautiful feel awful. That is the claim. I think it will make the strong weak and the rich poor and the poor ... they will just continue to be poor...but somehow feel better. It's all for one and none for all...of us.
Another boondoggle 2000+ page monstrosity of something from the Twilight Zone of comprehension. Packed with stuff for those whose "need" exceeds there grasp. How benevolent of our fine elected officials to take care of us. We the children of our loving Uncle Sam.
If we were all sitting around the campfire...oops...forgot...global warming, toxic release, tree killing...If we were all sitting around the free-range bioluminescent glow candle and had to agree on the most efficient delivery system for something, on what would we agree???? Hmmmm???
I know... FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY !!!!
Don't know what took "us" so long. Federal (central) Government has historically been the most efficient and creative implementation, administration system. Oh God Help Us! Ooops again...
my bad... I mean Oh non-specific, undefined cosmic deity or otherwise Big Arbiter of all things earthly or semi-human....help!!!
When has a government created a bureaucracy that did not become bloated and inefficient (if it was EVER efficient). Since when did a government bureaucracy not serve those in the bureaucracy more so than the citizens meant to serve? With all the levels of power, prestige, authority, favoritism and power-brokerage...but this will be different! Right??? Somehow we are to believe (with our little child's eyes wide open not really "seeing" when the actor dons the beard and places the scarlet cap on his head and turns to us to exclaim to our delight..."HO,HO,HO") that this latest "gift" will be different. Different because the "players" are somehow "different". Somehow they are under a magical spell that has everybody on the "good" side acting in "our" best interest...with no more greed, avarice or stupidity. No more mega-ego trips and puffed up image of self as King or QUEEN. Different because we now know, more certainly than ever, that the "free market/free enterprise" system, that actually created this country and provided the inspiration and means for growing it, does not work. NOPE!!! It has just been a total failure. And NOW, only now, our benevolent, beneficent and omniscient FEDERAL GOVERNMENT will finally step in (long, long awaited) and straighten out this mess we free citizens, free marketers, free enterprise believing individuals have created. Well thank the Non-Specific, Un-Defined deity of your choice now folks cause we are finally SAVED!!!
It's like our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has had no part in "free enterprise" until now. Like our Congress never created rules, regulations and laws and "guidelines" to "HELP" us along our way so things would be better and fairer and "more nicer"... GIMMEE A BREAK!!!!!
Let me be clear ... Changes need to be made in our healthcare delivery system, our health insurance system and our reliance on OUR government to give us everything we "need". The debate has begun. Great! Now let the Citizens and Private Enterprise work it out. Oh, no worry, the threat of our Government running the show should provide added stimulus and impetus needed to move it along. If not...we'll all have our Fed ID card and I'll see you in line.
gotta go now... boojang runnin' wild... gotta be reined in.................

Changes do need to be made. We do wind up paying for some of those who do not have adequate insurance. There are people who have applied for coverage then, due to pre-existing condition(s), are either rejected for any coverage, approved for things other than their pre-existing condition(s) or approved completely but charged more for the coverage due to the increased risk. But this is private enterprise. A Risk Management business underwriting our risk. Still, there is a private enterprise answer to this situation and it must be worked on. There are already a number of government programs in place to cover many without private health insurance. Not all government programs are well publicized.
Let's keep the Federal Govt's role in this to a bare minimum.
