New to this site, I am literally shocked at this synopsis of the bill by Mr. kbh. I had googled this plan hoping to get a clear unbiased report only to be reading things like "Smokers, drinkers, drug users, and those in terrible physical shape would have their premiems subsidized by the healthy." Is this actually written into Mr. Kennedy's bill? On the contrary I see that this is simple bias hogwash aimed at stopping the discussion before it has begun. I have been a medical office manager for over 14 years and am anticipating my MBA - Healthcare Management in March 2010. This discussion should be an honest review of the facts given the fact that we are in a healthcare crisis in this country.

In order to get a better picture of Mr. Kennedy's bill and to hear from people who want honest discussion about a topic that has long been ignored, I see that I will have to go elsewhere to get my information.
