quasi, I like what you have to say. If anyone here watched the news brief by President Obama, he answered many of your fears. The reason for setting the August deadline was to get Congress to do something now. If he hadn't set a deadline nothing would have happed ever. As it looks now there will not be a vote until this fall. This was expected. President Obama wants to set up the public healthcare system similar to the one offered to Congress. It is a pool system where you get to choose your healthcare provider.
