While our congress struggles to address a problem that has been recognized for decades, the angels of doom stand in the shadows throwing rocks. Will problems arise from a new approach to health insurtance? You bet. Some have not even been realized. When we see them, we shall fix them, and move on. Opponents, and supporters of the unlimited profits of insurers, would have us think about the issue of insurance reform forever--until "we get it right". No legislation is perfect, but in practice it is perfectable. I find it interesting that many of the same talkers who say Obama is "dithering" (for a couple weeks) over Afghanistan, want us to "dither" for a few more decades over healthcare and insurance reform. And all of this while 45,000 loyal Americans die every year because they have no health insurance. Clearly they have one of three things in mind: (1) I have my insurance--so screw you. (2) I'm being paid to say these things in order to defeat reform. (3) I want to do anything to bring down this President. The "right" fought against, and was on the wrong side of history when Social Security and Medicare were passed. They are about to be on the wrong side of history again.

The fact that 20 million patients would be added to the system and would increase the physician shortage means that the physician shortage needs to be addressed by more physicians or more efficient handling of patients. It also implies that medicaid also needs to be fixed. Identifying that getting coverage for an additional 20 million people is the root of the problem is basically saying that reform should never be attempted.
