No one argues that food and shelter are unimportant or less important, or even equal. But health care is important, and it has been going up for decades with reducing benefits (don't forget that second part). Something had to be done. And the only way to have a second, thrid or four step in that direction is to have a first step. I don't see this as a finished product. but I welcome a start over allowing the misinformation to prevent any work in the right direction.
Again, all you complain about was going on before reform. Even if it is continuing with Obama care, we at least get more for it. And don't ignore this point:
Also, one has to ask, with more people paying premiums, exactly why does an insurance company have to increase? They can claim any reason, but logically, if more people have insurance, more paying premiums, does it really follow that it is costing them more?
