I told you butter wouldn't suit the wound.

That's very funny.

I have a question. Who actually wrote the health care bill?

For the last 30 years either

In reply to It is this confounding aspect

For the last 30 years either I or one or more of my children have lived in a country with a National Health System. In all cases what those systems shared was that no one died because they couldn't afford health care.

One of the doctors in the practice I used in the UK had been on the staff at Columbia Presyterian. He returned to the UK because he found it too distressing to prescribe medications he knew his patients couldn't afford.

I recall attending at the birth of my two grandchildren, one in a well known NY hospital, the other in London. The waiting room was more appealling in New York, the care was better in London.

My assumption is that the un understandableness of Obamacare was a price he was willing to accept to get something passed . "Do it, fix it" is a useful approach.

That said, it was not the poor explanations of Obamacare that bothered me, it was that it was never really explained at all.

It is this confounding aspect

It is this confounding aspect of the bill, the un-understandableness of it, that gives me hope it will be amended to mimic the structure of Medicare.
