Forcing Americans to pay into a system that takes 20% profit for thier troubles is ludicris. If Americans have to buy healthcare then it should be a not for profit enterprise. I for one do not want to be forced to contribute to the bonus pay of a CEO of an health insurance company. Doesn’t seem fair does it?

This is not government at its best! Further, the bill did not cost the application of the bill honestly. The bill should not be treated as a “novelty” because previous attempts were futile. All legislation should be acceptable or otherwise based on cost and accuracy of purpose. It was not ! While we all want a health care system, the country must have what is affordable, logical and acceptable to the system of medicine and its recipients.
This bill did not reach that threshold !
