My top 5

zmud Updated - 16th Jul 2009

whats wrong with the current health care reform bill:

1. Illegal aliens are not excluded
2. Congressmen are excluded (remember all the rhetoric about every American deserving the same health coverage that they get?) Do as I say not as I do.
3. It does nothing to ensure private health plans will be able to compete and stay in business
4. It will balloon an already inflated federal deficit by another trillion dollars over the next 10 years (by their own estimation which is always about half of the real cost)
5. It will mean less pay for physicians and that will lead to a shortage just like it has in Canada and the UK. If I am an Indian or Philippine doctor, I will no longer have any incentive to move the the US to practice. I'll just stay home.
