In my opinion, healthcare reform will be poised to create jobs (within the medical industry), and stimulate the economy over time, through careful planning and calculating. Obviously the system won't be perfect, but progress is progress and it's far from perfect now. People without health insurance are already in real trouble. Underfunded public hospitals are already in real trouble. Tax payers are already footing the bill for those without insurance, and complaining about it every step of the way. This is about creating real competition, not to mention that a single payer system isn't even on the table at this point, so government control is continually utilized to instill fear in people. It's working. Health insurers should provide a service that is competitive and affordable. They do not conduct tests, make diagnosis, or perform operations, however they can deny or approve your ability to receive one with the drop of a pen. The largest percentage of health care recipients are senior citizens and the majority of them are covered by medicare (government controlled). Military insurance (government controlled). I find it interesting that people have no problem with those forms of government intervention, yet are against healthcare reform with a burning passion. Medicare doesn't overcharge or deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, insurance companies do. The insurance companies are making RECORD profits while millions go uninsured. Sorry to say it but the biggest opponents of health care reform are the insurance companies. They feel threatened, and rightfully so. I am a strong proponent not of government control, but of regulation from a foreign body, be it through the government or the populace they serve; we the people. Denise, thanks for your comment!

This will do more harm than good. This will make the economy and unemployment much worse. If this is the best we can do, then we are in real trouble.
