What Else is In It?

I have no doubt that there are some good things in the new health care act.

Indeed, supporters have been running through the talking points on TV ever since the act was passed.

Running through the list of things good in the act (for example, in this older talking points list) usually takes about 15 or 20 seconds talking fast.

Even if each of those nine good things (while at least admitting, can't we, that they will cost money to achieve?) needs ten pages of statutory language to achieve, what's in the other 816 pages of the act that nobody seems to be boasting about?

We're paying an awful lot for a fairly small list of nice things. But I'm sure it will all work out just swell. Well, our leaders are sure, in any rate.
