Well, if you really are waiting for them to fix it later you'll wait a long time. Joel Send a noteboard - 23/03/2010 04:33:25 PM
nice assumption though.

It's the best reason the pro-bill camp has found for passing what they admit is a bad bill, that, as Clinton quoted "the perfect is the enemy of the good" (which is true as far as it goes but implies this bad bill is good. ) But fair point, I did assume that was your thinking.

If you really do think they'll fix it later, well, don't hold your breath. When the horrible problems manifest what we'll likely see is a Republican drive to "reform the failed government program" which, I once again note, they typically do in much the way vets "treat" horses with broken legs. Aside from that healthcare reform is once again as toxic as it was in '94: It's dead, Jim.

We can't pay for the subsidies; even after the tax hike they increase debt in the short term. - 23/03/2010 04:12:14 PM 600 Views
