You evidently reached your conclusions in regards to this matter a priori. That's a rather odd stance for a social scientist. I presume one can claim to possess whatever credentials one wants in an anonymous forum--I just assumed you would be a bit more careful to ensure your behavior was consistent with your claims.

Umm yeah, I looked at the details and know that those who do not have insurance now and are paying $10k per year for a drug will be better off when they have part of the cost covered by the government. It is not exactly a giant logical leap. Your logical base of "until it happens we can't know anything about it" doesn't exactly jive with the whole concept of the scientific method.
I think my posts have demonstrated my knowledge of economics quite clearly, your awe inspiring analysis of my "credentials" not withstanding.
