Of course, I'm sure Tom will have something to say about how this is good for us.

Exactly!! They were mentioning this a while back and someone brought up the fact that they mandate car insurance for cars. Well there is an easy way to opt out of car insurance, don't own a car! We can't opt out of having health insurance because in order to do that, we have to be dead.

I've read some of the original bill. And they intentionally made it very long and full of legal ease to make sure people would not finish reading it. There is a lot of added little extras in there that even the people shouting how much they want this bill passed would scream, WTF!!!

I haven't looked around lately to see if there is anything out there about the new bill. But why pass something and then say that we have to "tweak" it right afterwards? Just to say "we got it passed"? That's stupid. Now that it's passed, they can stall all the "fixes" as long as they want because it is now "law of the land". If it's so important, take the time to get it right first and then present it to the country and see how they feel about it. Not just ram through any piece of legislation and say it needs to get done now because if not now, when. Take the time to get it right!!

Too many people with "entitlement" issues. They feel they are entitled to what everyone else that works hard and makes something of themselves have, but don't need to do anything for it.
