I was uninformed in this area of the bill. This is heartening, it sounds like someone would have to be very extreme to reject the funds, and the voters would likely punish them. Even the Health industry would be against such idiocy. I can't begin to express how happy I am that more people will be covered. Ted Kennedy would be smiling right now.
