you are over 70 or planning on croaking soon. If this bill fails, it will have to be tried again in no longer than 10 years. The long-term damage to the overall economy will be catastrophic! As premiums go up, more and more people will be unable to afford HC. And those that will be able to continue to afford it will end up paying a much larger percentage of their take home income. Fewer small businesses will be able to affoed HC. The percentage of uninsured will go up dramatically If it's 40 milion now, in 10 years it could shoot up to 60-65 million (it won't increase in a straight line, it will be a sharp curve). And with that many more people uninsured, the 45,000 a year who die will go up also. This will be re-addressed sooner rather than later if this fails.
