The only thing I'll add is that there was no way ANY reform of health care was going to be adopted unless it was railroaded through the process. If people don't like that, screw 'em. Stop being so obstructionist and the railroad jobs from both sides of the aisle will be reduced. ACA is the unfortunate child born of the political climate in our country. Do you remember Clinton's attempt at health care reform? It contained many of the reforms that are now being suggested by the Mayo Clinic and such. I'm not saying it was perfect or even a good plan. What I am saying is that the conservative side was so obstructionist, and largely aided by the insurance industry lobby, that any reform was DOA. Thus we have the railroaded through piece of shit we have today.
