For the Record

I am not a big fan of Obamacare. But not because of the mandate or technical complications- I would have preferred universal Medicare buy-in and some real incentive to improve efficacy and keep costs down.

I truly appreciate the fact that there are no more denials for pre-existing conditions or lifetime caps on reimbursement. That's a real nice thing for people with chronic illnesses, like everyone.  And  I really hope that maybe it will prevent some narcoleptics from killing themselves before they are properly diagnosed and effectively treated.

...Even though that also means the profit driven medico-pharma complex is still intact and your doctors can tell you to eat fruits and grains and prescribe you Xyrem for the rest of your lives.  Make their boat payments and give those criminals over at Jazz some more millions.
At their prices, you would have run out of benefits in a year or two. Forever.
