WSJ has an excellent post showing the difference between the senate and congress healthcare bill. If anyone thinks these bills are good should probably take a look at whats in them.

The individual mandate is particularly heinous. The parts about prohibiting insurance companies from rejecting people for preexisting condition is also fucked up. How can you honestly tell me you want to reduce healthcare care cost and then forbid insurance companies from taking on consumers who are clearly going to make the whole system cost more.

Don’t get me wrong, there are good moral reasons to prevent insurance companies from rejecting people for prior conditions. Unfortunately moral reasons are not cost saving reasons.
