Now that the democrats have lost the house to the republicans, what does it mean for the health care reform bill? Will the look to replace all of it or just part of it, or will they seek to add to it or delete from it? Will they be able to do anything?
Like many Americans, I only like part of the health reform bill, I support coverage for the uninsured, and I support not exempting those with pre-existing conditions from coverage, but I cannot support is forcing everyone to have health insurance. It is difficult for me to support such a measure because I see it having an adverse effect on the economic.
John Goodman has some Idea for the Republicans to consider such as Health care Portability, Affordability, and fairness.
