We all know that. It is designed to bankrupt private insurers.

You mean everyone but congress has to pay more for a better than basic plan. This does include a tax on better than basic plans also.

We all know this is the first step to the single payer system dems knew they couldnt force through congress on its own merits. Anyone with at least a 4th grade education can figure that out.


Back to your original misguided point though. Obama has said on numerous occasions that he wants to nationalize healthcare to bring down everyone's health insurance costs. So now that you dodged the question the first time. I'll ask you again. Name ANYTHING in this bill that will bring down costs to anyone.
