I've heard about ten different descriptions of the healthcare bill ranging from a system similar to Canada's to legally forcing people to purchase from pre-existing insurance companies (which is bs I'm sure), and I'm too much of a lazy sod to read all 400+ pages of the bill, so I really don't know what to think of it anymore.
I wish people wouldn't make up this kind of runoff.
But yeah, I do agree we need a strong healthcare bill. However, I can see him wanting to compromise just so it exists (especially with Republican majority in congress), because it can always be amended by a later administration. That's what happened with FDR's New Deal and the numerous acts produced by it. (Yeah, it's kind of stretch comparing the two but it's my two cents.)
