It's not the "key" points that are causing the uproar. It's the "pork", vote buying, and mob tactics used to get the bill pushed through.

I still can't figure out why I'm paying for other people's health insurance. Since when did health insurance become a right? Also, you think that with all the hamstringing of the insurance companies that their premiums are actually going to go down? People, insurance is based on risk. If they have to cover everyone, their risk goes up. If the risk goes up, so do the premiums.

Thankyouforsmoking,
I think the way it is supposed to work is that you will be able to purchase in a larger pool of insured and be able to shop the lowest risk factors if you qualify. Risk is distributed over more people so the factor "should" go down. The "mob tactics" that I feel were employed here is that I am forced to purchase something that I should be able to elect for. It's not auto insurance where I am liable for personal injury or loss to another person so, it should be considered a personal choice not an extortion from a mob sying I must pay for protection or there will be something bad happen. I beleive in health care just not this bill, it caters to the liberal and not everyone. Who is going to monitor this program? not the states where the responibility should lie, but the fed's who have done such a stellar job with Medicare and Medicaid NOT!! Insurance companies are going to disallow more and more procedures to make up for loss so quality of care will go down period. In the bill that I read, I don't see alot of regulations on the insurance companies, only the insured. This law needs work in a lot of areas. This is Pelosi and Obama wanting their name attached to a healthcare bill for history sake and nothing else.

we are already paying for the uninsured's health coverage through higher service rates at hospitals, which translates into higher insurance premiums. Having everyone covered will bring down rates long term because folks will not go through the emergency rooms with minor ailments, as happens now.
Many of the opponents of the health care bill are people who do not want the system to change, such as large hospital corporations and their investors.
I can't believe their lobbyists have been so successful in drumming up opposition to the bill.
