Now, poliically speaking, we have to see what groups suddenly get peeled away from the category of "pissed off republicans dying to vote the dems out in 2010 and 2012".
Immediately...
Will small business owners decline the tax credit?
Will seniors cash the $250 donut hole refund check, then vote against Dems?
Will people with pre-existing conditions prefer to get dropped from their insurance?
In 90 days...
Will people be cool with their kids not having coverage?
Will people be cool with getting dropped when they get sick?
Will any parent of a kid aged 23 to 26 be okay with their kid being uninsured?
In 2014...
Will ANY senior DECLINE medicare preventative care?
Please, let's not turn this into a discussion of how it's commie, marxist, etc. Let's talk about the political ramifications. How many of these people listed above, once obama does his little Bill Selling Spree, will stop hating the bill? Yes, the taxes are going to be bad, we know that. But are seniors really going to decline preventive care on medicare?
