You know, the funny thing is that I *love* the idea of a mandate to buy health insurance. I get really annoyed at uninsured persons getting treatment in such a way that results in higher fees for me. Of course, that also is true of medicare, which in many cases does not cover the doctor's costs much less provide reasonable compensation.
I'm in favor of several of the "fairness" parts of this bill.
I have always been in favor of doing away with Medicaid in most cases for healthy enough individuals, and helping families pay for insurance. I'm rather skeptical of the ability of government to provide decent services in an efficient manner.
What I don't like is the way it was done. I *really* don't like the way it was done.
