I won't take the debate (I simply don't have the time), but I will say this makes me happy for you. America is actually moving in the direction of what I (in my warped, Scandinavian brain, obviously) think of as a civilised country. I did not think that would ever happen.
Is there a good, semi-reliable (or more reliable than semi) place I can go and read about this bill? I don't want garbage. I don't want to hear opinions about it. I just want to know what it says so that I can make my own opinions. The only thing I've found kind of like that stumps me as to why people would be upset over the bill. So obviously I need something else. I don't want something that trashes it. I'm just afraid what I was reading left out language or something like that that will impact what will happen.
I think I like the WSJ the best.
Here is the NYT

Here is the WSJ

Here is the Economist. It gives the best, now what - specifically referring to the Democrats tactic to call the changes "budget reconciliation" and thus needing only 50 votes in the Senate.

I am worried. The official reports show that it will actually erase some debt. But . . .

You must have an interesting definition of "most"

My definition of most is obviously quite defective.

As long as you define "most" as "some time" you're just fine with it as it stands *NM*

I'd say "most" people would agree with my definition of "most" in my original post....

You should worry about cost control (AKA the only real reason for healthcare reform to begin. )
