For the people who kind of want to know what's going on, but have no desire to dig through that morass of a post I just made, here's a repeat of what I consider the most important paragraph in that last post:


That is the one good thing about Obamacare. The uninsured could get insurance, if they can afford it. But, several other plans do the same thing, without being convoluted. Convolution examples being slashing the loved program, Medicare, jacking up the hated program, Medicaid. Preserving the employer health care tax credit which favors the wealthy (although they are tweaking this by currently saying they want to tax the most expensive health insurance plans - it's just not an elimination of the problem, the wealthy are still favored. And, I've already heard quotes by Harry Reid where he wants to take that tax out.) Preserving experience rating which jacks up administrative costs in insurance companies. The stupid bill is 1,200 pages long. So, when there is a problem with a claim being paid, the average Joe will never be able to figure out what the real deal is (From memory, the HAA is only 164 pages). That's just off the top of my head. The bill is complex, so there's all these financial tweaks that the more I hear about them, the wrong people lose...
