Health Care Bill for and against

Here is a summary article from Yahoo which is pretty easy to understand. It has several links embedded in the article from US News & World Report, like this article arguing against the bill. There are a few comments to this article by readers that are pretty good as well.

I'm glad our country has finally decided to try to do something about health care. However, while the bill requires everyone to be insured, I wish it also addressed the real problem: the power that insurance corporations and medical providers (including drug corporations) have to get together and conspire. Oligarchy isn't the best situation here.

Though far from perfect, full of unrelated appendages, and bound to create some unintended problems, I think this is an important start toward ultimate reform. All changes take some time and I would predict future bills will need to be passed to refine the process. Let's hope for the best.
