As I see it two of the major problems with healthcare haven't been addressed . The rising cost of medical services and the rising cost of medicaid/ There are 30 million people currently in the US with out health insurance, the adult population in the US is 228 million, and the 30 million includes children. Do you think the let's say 20 million adults in that 30 million who will pay are going to make a dent for the 228 million current payees? When those 30 million are able to get these services that are rising in cost all the time it's still going to mean more people using and not paying enough - therefore the cost of your current healthcare policies are going to go up not down and those that haven't been able to afford it are going to be even poorer than they are now or may lose their homes as many are just on the edge of financial ruin, that includes college graduates with huge loans to payoff or larger families or where one out of two has lost a job. Apparently there is going to be an out for hardship cases however those cases may end up with no health insurance if their incomes are above Medicaid eligiblity. So not everyone will be covered. The other question I have - another tax being administered by the Federal government where they can raid the funds like they do with Social Security? It would be great if I'm wrong and it turns out everyone gets healthcare and those with current policies see their costs stabilize and it's affordable for those who can't afford it. I guess since it's a go we will have to wait and see what happens.
