What the fuck do you think the Insurance Companies were doing before Health Care reform? What the fuck do you think is driving health care reform other then the fact that insurance companies have raised premiums to the point that it accounts for 16 to 18% of a companies cost for doing business. In 1975 that cost was 6% and the coverage was nearly 100%! Now the cost is 3 times as much and that only get's you a high deductable HSA. What you're seeing now is only the beginning of HC reform. Oh sure, the FOP's hate it because they're afraid of any change and, quite frankly, aren't really interested in anyone benefiting from government services other than themselves, so as long as the hyporcrites have their medicare, they could give a fuck less about the rest of us.
Rest assured compadre, you have just seen the beginning of HC reform. By 2012 a vast chunk of people are going to understand what it is they have gained and they are gong to like it and then you're going to see these reforms completed. This is just the beginning.
