Another question, for anyone who is interested–given the enormous length and complexity of the bill, it must have numerous gray areas and clauses open to interpretation, not to mention plenty of unworkable parts and sheer contradictions. My question is–shouldn’t it be possible, assuming it does pass, to obstruct it in significant ways through law suits, challenges to constitutionality, etc.? Not to mention the corruption and malfeasance it will undoubtedly produce on a gigantic scale, which could lead to prosecutions and wrongful death, etc., suits against ogvernment bureaucrats.
I’m trying to think of how the struggle against socialism could continue even given the worst case scenario. It seems to me that the other places where socialized medicine has been imposed have been less free and have possessed populations who are, shall we say, better behaved than unruly Americans. If there are, at minimum, 35% of Americans unalterably opposed to socialized health care (along with, of course, plenty less unalterably opposed), could we make it pretty much impossible, regardless of what passes in Washington?
