In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread. Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts. Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

As they say time will tell. But one thing is certain, this legislation does not control the one thing wrong with health care in the USA——name that of controlling costs. While it does restrict some insurance premium increases it does allow for increases and with the mandated coverage of millions that should be windfall of sorts for the insurance industry with government subsidies. However, physician and hospital cost will continue to skyrocket——remember make as much as you can as fast as you can before it all ends.

This citizen is delighted that the President and the Democrats have - thru sheer
determination and perseverance, given us a Health Care Bill. More to do. It is a
start. A good one.
