I'm disregarding such bullshite.

After reading the sinthesis of the bill, I am generally for it.

Admittedly, I haven't heard any real GOP counter ideas but then again to be fair, the media hasn't really reported on any. Whether it's bias or due to them not really saying anything I am not sure.

Still, I do think it generally moves toward a more just health care system. I think it's essential. There is too much confabulation of Health Care with some sort of commercial commodity in this country, I don't like that. It's a service and a right.

Plus, it's not like we initated a NIS over here. I honestly don't understand why the GOP is so deathly afraid of it in some sort of dumbass socialist context.

Still a legitamte worry is what this will do to the national deficit. This is about the only thing I agree with GOP and Tea Party peeps on. We are in a precarious situation vis a vis finances in this country, while it drastically increase national debt? I haven't seen many mainstream news outlets tackle that yet.

I wouldn't have minded something closer to NIS or what Canada has if more people have comprehensive care and the level of care wasn't terribly comprimised but given how large and dysfunctinal my country is, it'd be largely untenable.
