It is true that this version of the bill (all 2700 or so pages of it) I am not very well versed in (and I knew much more about earlier versions).
I do not, however, understand, even in my admitted lack of complete understanding of specifically what is in the health bill, how any 2700 page bill (or so I've heard....I cannot claim to have seen nor read it) can be seen as the "most moderate of measures".
However, one thing I will not do is be sucked into the "well, you must be completely for the way things are now because you aren't for this" argument. Some don't know but I have posted here before that I came from a family that declared bankruptcy due to health reasons (my mom died of lupus when I was a teenager after suffering with it for 13 years), and we survived, though the process certainly sucked.
I do suppose, though, that I don't understand why opposition is blamed on conservative "fear mongering". Do the 50+ percent of the population that is opposed to this listen to this conservative "fear mongering"? Perhaps it is rational people who don't simply don't like many of the proposals for whatever reason (even though many rational people do).
It does remain to be seen though what happens with this. It certainly was not the last hurdle for the bill.
