Nobody's kidding anyone. Once the system is in place, "changes" will be incorporated in later legislation, possibly as soon as next year.)
You can't quite incorporate socialism into a system in one obvious step in this country. Americans haven't been broken to that level just yet (wait a generation). But do it in phases, and it goes pretty smoothly.
The goal is total state control of every aspect of the health care system, and the Democrats won't quit until they get it, or have their power reduced to the point where they can't effectively try.
Whatever is left of the private insurance industry after this, one thing is certain: under the new rules it's no longer "insurance" as the term is defined, and given the restrictions, commandments and mandates, it really couldn't be considered private industry either.
Sorry we aren't destroying free markets fast enough for you. Listening to the Left, I don't know if they're more pissed that we didn't socialize a sixth of our economy in one fell swoop, or succeed in creating the all-powerful planetary government they were hoping for in Copenhagen.
