@tom_forsyth So eventually we will have something that mandates something awesome, like 50% of all money spent goes to insurance companies.

@tom_forsyth I mean the bill _already_ ensures that 20% of all money goes to insurance companies, which is _insane_.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori That's why the bill passed. The alternative is NOT a bill that only gives them 5% - it's no change at all.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori But this way eventually yeah 50% of the money goes to insurance companies, and EVERYONE can agree that's bad, and it gets fixed.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@tom_forsyth I guess the point of contention here is that I don't see it as having been fixed. If they already agree 20% is good...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@tom_forsyth Why do you think that won't be steadily increased over the years? All _other_ government things seem to go that way...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@tom_forsyth It's just going to be like investment banking laws. Reset at crises, but getting worse at all other times.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori So more people protected, but had to bribe insurance cos with money (hopefully) saved on Medicare & ER wards. Net positive?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori Sure, ideally we wouldn't have to bribe companies, but Boehner would have strapped on a C4 jacket rather than let that happen.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@tom_forsyth I totally support any scenario that requires Boehner to strap on a C4 jacket.
