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.
