The major components of Obamacare were known, discussed, and detailed for the public. Of course there were some minor things in the long, detailed plan that were not known. Quit pretending this is the same thing. Somebody in here pulled this same BS recently, saying nothing was known about OC before it was launched. Evidently he forgot all the talk about death panels and other things that were blown out of proportion

:lol:   That's complete bullshit.  Everything from costs, to deductibles, to who will end up paying for what to "you can keep your doctor.  

"You can't do it political, you just literally cannot do it. Transparent financing and also transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes the bill dies. Okay? So it’s written to do that," Gruber said. "In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass. Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not."

Just out of curiosity.. why did Mick Jagger come to New York for his heart valve replacement? Why not Britain? Canada? Why not the standard-by-all-which-will-be-measured Havana General?

Neighbor North of me and another about 1/2 mile away had to quit Obama-Care as it got way too expensive for them, now they get local Healthcare for free thru what's known as a charity fund.
