Here is what I don't get about this plan, and why on the cover I don't like this plan. I agree that everybody needs access to affordable health care. Even that 27 year old in perfect health needs affordable health care coverage, because let's face it, accidents happen every day. But .... I just don't see how this bill accomplishes the "affordable" part. If the Feds are going to stick the Insurance companies with a bill for 6.7 billion, who is going to really pay that? The companies them selves? I don't think so, we are, through higher premiums. If the drug makers are going to be socked with a tab for 2.3 billion who is going to pay it? We are, because the insurance companies will get billed more to pay for the drugs that where used by the Docs which will be passed on to us in the form of higher health insurance premiums. And the list goes on. And if the Gov tries to tell them they can't raise premiums to cover the higher costs, they start to lose profitibility and when private companies lose profitibility, they go out of business, which leads to less competition, which leads to higher prices, or ...... the single payer, fully government run health care system, which is what I really think their ultimate goal is, and to me, that is really scary!

So, affordable health care for everybody is needed, lowering the costs to evry day folks is desprately needed, I just don't see how this bill can accomplish that ... hope I'm wrong.
