If it collapses, then we will all be right back where we were under Bush. In the end, Obama will not lose on this issue. He will lose if he cannot get legislation passed that will reduce the chronicly high unemployment rate. If he can manage to stay in office 2 terms, then this monstrosity will have a chance to be improved.

of course we all hope it will do some good. But the whole point of my post was to explain that if the "reform" fails to deliver on the hopes and promises (in the minds of most Americans), we will be much worse off than if nothing at all were to pass because future reform efforts will prove to be even more difficult than they are now.

I could copy and paste my explanation, but of course you could just scroll to the top of this page.

The Republicans are going to beat Obama to death with this legislation.  It's a crummy program.  It rips off the taxpayers while continuing to allow the insurance companies to control our health care finance system.

2014 is a fantasy.
