I guess for those who can get health care, I'd agree with you. For those who have no insurance (which is often the same thing as no access, at least to expensive care) and/or pre-existing conditions, I guess they have either zero care or infinite pricing. I think the "average working person" is slowly disappearing, replaced by the person with one, two or three no-benefit low wage jobs. I expected nothing but sausage out of the government, particularly since the administration and the Dems were so set on getting an agreement, any agreement. It was theoretically possible for the two parties to have an honest debate and work toward an agreement that's good for citizens and uses taxes and other money efficiently, but in practice that would be impossible since their primary concern seems to be not agreeing to whatever the other side says. It seems so plausible that we could have a much more rational and accessible health care system, however because health care is so expensive it can only be meaningfully underwritten by either or both of the government or insurance companies. The government is dysfunctional, and the insurance company's primary objective is to ensure least access to health care while still convincing people that they're a good buy. Feh.
