While I wholeheartedly acknowledge the need to reform our broken health care system, I also am a strong believer that most laws, particularly complex ones, have unintended consequences. I think the likelihood of unintended consequences grows with the size and complexity of the legislative package. As guilty as the GOP was for saying this package would destroy America and everything it stands for, I think the Democratic faithful are just as guilty of accepting this package as a panacea for all that ails us. This package does a lot of key things, but it leaves out perhaps the key element - cost control. As written, it evolved into a windfall for insurance companies.
