Canada (none / 0)

Are you in Canada? As for the "reform" working in the short run, the subsidies will help and the pre-existing condition ban will help (on paper, but the cynic in me assumes there are loopholes).

And yes, it's a short term political win. But the bottom line for me is that I only care about political wins if they translate to policy wins. Unfortunately that hasn't happened on any major issue I can think of, and I don't see it happening any time soon.

Made it seem I was already in, I'm in the process of applying for citizenship in Canada. There are loopholes as you they can't deny you insurance on the exchange but outside they can. And I even doubt that, we both know the lack of balls the US government has when it comes to enforcing regulations.

The short term win won't even be that big but the long term damage this will cause leftist ideals will be huge. Unless they actually do come back and alter the shit out of this bill which is doubtful since they didn't have the balls for it in the first place.
