In its current form, I'm about 80% against this bill. I believe most of the aspects in it don't address the proper issues, and the issues that are addressed aren't effectively changed. Your above comment is my biggest issue with this whole health care debate.

This has turned into two clans of apes throwing feces at each other. Instead of addressing issues within the bill and giving examples that could improve them, the argument has been "Obama is a socialist and want panels of people to kill my grandma" and "Republicans are the party of no, stirring trouble just for the sake of it."

It's like two groups of children fighting on the playground. Until it stops and *constructive criticism* develops, we won't be able to create effective health care reform.

For all the pissing and moaning I have heard from the Republicans, I can't remember seeing a single one identifying an issue in the bill and recommending an alternative solution and why.

Like I tell my employees, "When you come to me with a problem, bring a suggestion for a solution."
