Out of the Blue [Nov 10, 2009, 11:07 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
To respond to questions about my dental woes, a lot of the more recent work I've had is to fix things done by my previous dentist (who was supposed to be fixing my childhood dentistry). Case in point, yesterday the doc was looking at two crowns that had problems, and it turns out in one of them, the drilling left a small hole in the base of the tooth, completely messing things up. As a result I need to go back today and have the base of that tooth surgically removed (look forward to narcotic-fuelled stories this afternoon). Needless to say I am pretty incensed, and MrsBlue has resumed saying she wants to go back and sue our old dentist.

If this is fear mongering, she's doing a pretty poor job of it, IMHO. Most of this is about mandated health care, which I'd think the conservatives would be all for. Right now, taxpayers are carrying the load for all those people who don't have their own health care, and are using the emergency rooms as their primary care. The mandate will make those people take responsibility for their own health care instead of the rest of us paying for them.
From what I've read most of the people that can't afford to pay for their own care will have their insurance subsidized under the house plan.
Here is a decent, relatively simple review of what the plan hopes to accomplish:

Note that the author is a liberal and he is pretty blunt about what he thinks the plan accomplishes.
This whole argument reminds me of a sign posted in our local jewish deli. A triangle with the following words at the points: Price, quality, service. Next to that was choose any two.
