15. Oh I do.
Edited on Mon Dec-21-09 09:49 PM by liberalmuse
But there are some things I like in the bill. Insurance companies profits will be regulated to ensure 85% is put back into use for patient care, getting rid of lifetime caps, not discriminating against those with pre-existing conditions (children will be covered right away), and according to Franken, 31 million more people will be covered who do not have coverage now. I like that insurance companies will be required to provide preventative exams for free. I don't like that adults have to wait until 2014 until they are eligible with a pre-existing condition. I don't like anything that uses women as pawns to get the conservo-Dems on board - women should have full coverage for abortion, elective or not. Anyway, I'm sure I got some of the things mixed up, but I'm close. And I'm honest enough to not bury my head and admit there are good things about this bill. All or nothing usually gets you nothing.
