Yes. Or that if you're not a super-smart lawyer you'll just close your eyes, cross your fingers and hope for the best.
The U.S. government is expert at finding complex and cumbersome solutions to complex and cumbersome problems. That's not a partisan comment, just an observation of how it has worked over the past 11 years or so.
My feeling (and--I'll be honest--hope) is that whatever system Obama signs into law will be better than what they currently have. Right now, health care is stupidly expensive and a hardship for middle class families, not to mention the uninsured.
I guess I'll settle for stupidly expensive and a hardship for the government, if that's the only other option. But I'd prefer a solution that was efficient, had reasonable costs and was fair.
After that, I would ask for an end to war. And a piece of moon cheese.
