That's what's really wrong with this bill; no one has any real clue because no real health care people took part in helping to create it. I was for a bill, but I don't think I got what I wanted. The main provision I don't like is the personal penalties on people who end up not having health care. The $900 or so for individuals and $3,800 for families without insurance hurts only the middle class, and President Obama promised the middle class wouldn't suffer because of this bill. I could care less about the cost if it offers the proper protection for consumers. Right now, who knows what it's going to offer.
