15. I'll believe that there will be a subsidy when I see it.

Any political candidates that think they score points while offering up Profit on A Platter for their friends in Industry should realize that a 2,600 page Act that is so confounding no one knows how to explain it should not be surprised if such an act is not popular.

And even should there be a subsidy, why was health care reform much more about a mandate and less about "reform?"

Why is it that people not buying the insurance will receive penalties, while those bastards in the insurance world needn't worry about penalties. And those insurance executives are the ones who have brought about such horrid medical decisions as refusing to pay for treatment to save a ten year old's leg, or refusing to give antibiotics to people who have had an $ 80,000 heart surgery, and due to the lack of the $ 6,000 in antibiotics, the heart surgery patient dies.
