It seems like a disaster to me -- and it's not that I don't think our current system is perfect. I just think the massive costs in this, and the inevitable limits of choice (plus a whole bunch of other things, include the bribes paid to a bunch of senators who don't happen to represent my own state of Illinois) are terrible and will make things much worse. This seems like government intervention, as opposed to some other things, such as <a href="http://www.strategicvisionpublishing.com/about-the-book" rel="nofollow"> CDHP</a> which has been shown to lower insurance costs. (Just read about a study on another site that shows once again that spending goes down when you put people in charge of certain aspects of their health care dollars.) The book "Bend the Health Care Trend" is all about CDHP and how to implement it in the workplace, plus practical tips for employers in building a culture of health and wellness that benefits all of their employees. (I wish we could get credit for our health club membership! Some places do that. And I go 5 times a week.) The consumer-driven plans lower costs. Why aren't we looking at that?

I think if congress is going to force a health care program upon the American people. THEN it should be forced to use the same health care program and not be allowed to have a different program! Sorry if it is good enough for me then it surely good enough for our hired help (CONGRESS!) I agree! I think if congress is going to force a health care program upon the American people.
