What do you think is bad about the healthcare reform bill and why?

What I worry about most is not what this bill does do.  I
worry about what it does not do.  To me, one of the biggest problems we face is bringing
down the cost of health care.  I do not think the bill really changes
this.


To me, we need to make consumers be able to see what
their health care really costs.  That way, they could make choices about what care they
do and to not want.  As it is now, you don't really know what some particular bit of
care will cost you or what it really costs overall.


We also
need to do something to change the way that doctors have incentives to provide more
care, not better results.  Doctors are paid based on how many procedures are done, not
based on whether people stay healthy.  We need to reward providers who give good care,
not those who give lots of care.
