I stand corrected.

And I would have preferred the House version for funding....the surtax on those with income over $500k (or $1 million couple)....less than 1 percent of all taxpayers would be impacted.

And, the House end to anti-trust exemption for insurance companies would have been nice as well.

But you cant have everything...its called compromise.

IMO, the good...for those 30+ million uninsured and those of us currently w/employer-based insurance...far outweigh the bad.
