Let me see if I understand this... The health care bill requires the health insurance companies to offer their products to 33 million new customers, and requires that people purchase insurance from private, for-profit companies, which in turn adds to their profits. Isn't that the essence of the "free market"? Isn't that "capitalism"? Conservatives are complaining, why???
--------------------
They're complaining because it was passed by Democrats. Conservatives are always fast to tell you that US hospitals cannot turn away someone based on their ability to pay and that they have to treat you. They don't complain about this. But, at the same time they absolutely abhor the idea of people being given something for nothing. The reforms basically say that since a person can't be turned away, they need to have insurance to pay for it. It's their responsibility to pay for the coverage that they can't be denied.
