1)I can tell you have not read the Bill....it's very short sighted to think that its a 'McDonalds Money Tree' Solution...it's that the plan price now is not what the plan price will be in 2014. So until then the half baked plan (that covers practically nothing) will do....That is the waiver....
2) I do not know the reason for Union applications
3) A HC plan is not the Bill....the Bill is a Law...(you seem to play semantics.....it is your vain attempt to avoid fact)...The 'Law' dictates what and how insurance companies must offer as an insurance....some of what it dictates is how much an insurance company is allowed to profit....and how they must comply with the new 'Patients Bill of Rights'....
3a) i wont even address you semantics....(as I already did in 3). HC insurance costs have doubled in the last 10 years...doing nothing will not only reduce the number of uninsured but leave more people on public assistance...
It is funny how when Clinton was trying to make HC a mandatory employer benefit in 93....your clowns came out and tried to push the individual mandate....is your memory short....
