They should be covered only at the low income clinics, forced to wait for hours to see a doctor and forced to pay a huge co-pay. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the reasoning is sort of amusing. Altmire will not compromise with America's future. If the bill is not exactly to his liking, then he will vote against it. His former employers will have to continue to make huge amounts of "excess revenue" (they are willing to make the sacrifice) until Congress is willing to make them contain costs.EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-92223715474357610602009-11-10T00:45:20.168-05:002009-11-10T00:45:20.168-05:00"In particular, I remain concerned that the H..."<i>In particular, I remain concerned that the House’s health care reform bill still fails to make our health care system more cost-efficient.

By taking part in the present inefficient system, he is only perpetuating it, right? He should go without coverage like the millions of Americans for whom he just denied it, for the same reasons.<br /><br />This bill will provide health care to something like 30 million more Americans -- <i>of course</i> that will increase net health care expenditures, no big surprise. But we get something in return for those expenditures: a lot more people receiving the sort of health care he presently has no objection to receiving himself.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.com
