There are two groups of people who strenuously opposed these reforms -- 1) the usual naysayers who can only see issues from the perspective of cost, and whose answer to everything is "Get your hand out of my pocket!", and 2) the Congressional Democrats. Why do you think the Democrats were so opposed to this reform bill? Answer: If successful, it will actually start moving people out of Medicare and back into private commercial insurance products for some, most, or even all of their health care needs. Less dependence on government.

The naysayers in their kneejerk opposition to the President's goals here should take a good look at who they are allied with on this issue

Well... my opposition comes mainly from the fact that Medicare itself is in violation of the 10th amendment. It's just kinda depressing that we can't get this through to people... you know, use the bully pulpit to get people to realize this.

But... I realize that may be asking too much. I'll have to hold my breath and see how this thing turns out.
