The pro-plan sentiment is that this is better than nothing. A few million of the many uninsured will be covered. Corporate corrupt practices, fraud, abuse, and much of the insurance industry's inhumanity will be held in check. Pre-existing conditions will no longer exist. But don't be surprised if they find loop holes around some of it, or find ways to con people. That's typical corporate America (We see it now with the new credit card laws. banks are asking people to allow them to bypass the over-limit fees.).
Anti-plan sentiment says that this is an insurance industry bailout. It forces people to pay for health care insurance. But who isn't paying already? I agree what we really need is a single payer plan like Medicare for all. but that's not on the table. Perhaps if we give in now we can return to fight another day for single payer.
What do you think? Should we support Obama's plan?
