And the cost of health care hasn't *already* been going out of control for
the last ten years or more?


How could you have missed that? What other planet were you visiting?


How does this plan reduce the cost of health care?


It probably won't, at least for those who already have insurance. For
those who now pay nothing, either by choice or by necessity, there
will be some variation. Nothing will reduce costs, short of a single-
payer plan or severe regulation plus some changes in the way pharma
and health conglomerates do business.

But, that is not all there is to it, at least IMHO. There's alot more
to health care than cost, and this bill addresses many of those issues
in a positive way (at least for my family). I'd bet a king's ransom
I'm not he only one for whom this is true. If the cost of the plan is
the only thing that matters to you, then I agree, the bill is probably
worthless.
