What do(n't) you like about the healthcare reform bill?
So, now that the healthcare reform bill has passed the house, let's hear it. What don't you like about the bill? Please, please, stick to facts about the actual bill...not the process, not conspiracy theories...the bill.
Here's what I don't like:
o Personal mandate. I'm just not entirely comfortable with this. I know about the subsidies for people who truly can't afford it, and I understand the why - but I really wish healthcare reform could have been achieved without the personal mandate.
o Not single payer or some other 'socialist' system. It freaking works for the rest of the industrialized world.
o Not even 'public option', but I'm not so sure that the public option would've been such a great idea after all.
Here's what I do like:
o Gets most Americans covered.
o Bans some of the nastier insurance company practices.
o Some fixes for medicare and medicaid
o Various other goodies, like encouraging preventative care, etc.
