There is no doubt that what is being proposed here is not a NHS style plan. Yet. But what is being proposed and potentially voted on is a government run plan that will be potentially cheaper to run than many employer sponsored plans, and until we know what those costs actually will be we shouldn't be voting on them. How we will be charged and where the money will come from is not specifically dictated in the House Bill. That will come from a different committee. There is a potential, in the way the plan is being crafted, that millions more people will be shuffled to the plan unexpectedly and it is not being designed for that. There are too many holes at this point and must not allow the Demoncratic majority to Rahm it through for political points and political reasons.
