Its the old saying, if your going to do something, just do it and screw the consequences.

I don't know if this bill is the solution to the problem.

I think its going to effect the U.S. deficit in a time when they can't afford to increase it.

I don't think I like the mechanics of how it works.

If I understand it correctly, health insurance becomes mandatory, you can either buy private or fall under Obama care. So your still going to be paying pretty outrageous health care premiums.

If you can't afford it, then the government will subsidize it which means increased taxation across the board in a time of deficit.

if you still don't buy it your either paying a fine or going to jail.

The program starts forcing corrections of the funds immediately but the insurance mechanics don't change for 4 years.

The bill doesn't do anything to effect the infastructure problems at the sharp end of the crisis.

The government as part of this bill seems to get more say in who gets student loan money and who doesn't, so the concept of universal education is probably going to go out the window.

While I won't call this bill a fail, it does seem like a half-arsed poorly thought out compromise document.
