Truth be told, this Healthcare Reform Bill that passed, is a bloody mess, that will greatly increase our national debt, and decrease the quality of healthcare for all(Doctors are already retiring, Healthcare Providers are stopping new policies, hospitals are turning away medicare/medicaid patience). We do not have the hospitals, or doctors to support the same level of care we have had in the past, and increasing those who can use it, by 30 million people. There will be rationing of healthcare just on the fact that there's not enough staff/medicine/facilities on hand to support the increases.
And I hate to break it to people, but life is unfair. America was never about 'fairness'. It was about equal opportunity. What you do with that opportunity is up to you. But you are not guaranteed the same results as anyone else.

I'm not talking about that mandatory auto insurance thing; the reform bill will take money from the government, taxes, and big corporations to pay for universal health care. No one's forced to buy health care for themselves; the only paying people may be doing is tax paying, which will be pooled into a reserve for all Americans to use to get health care.
Coming to America thinking it's more "fair" than wherever the heck someone came from is not smart at all. We're having problems adapting just one socialist aspect, do you really think we'll go communist just so it can be "fair"?
Sorry, America doesn't like communism for a reason.
