Before getting all steamed up about Obama's not vetoing the bill, ask yourself,

37. I admitted there were weaknesses in the Healthcare Reform bill, and also said that

because of the initial furor against it, I didn't know there were any good points in it
until much later. I pointed out there are both weaknesses and strengths in this
bill. I initially thought that it was all bad -- Which isn't the case.

My point is not to jump to judgments too hastily. We could spare ourselves some
unnecessary grief. In this world of ours, few things are all bad, or all good.

Back to the HCR bill: My preference actually would be the single-payer system. Someone
had written that the Healthcare Reform bill is so written that insurance companies will
be making less and less profits, and they (at least, the big ones) might eventually leave
the field altogether and go into some other business. The small ins. cos., of course,
will be glad to take over the crumbs. I wouldn't be surprised if the single-payer system
should win out in the end. I'd like to see our present corporate system, much of which is
criminal in nature, reformed from top to bottom, and from inside out.
