E-PrinceWhen President Barack Obama signs a historic — albeit controversial — health care reform bill, he will complete a year-long legislative process and achieve the health care coverage expansion that has eluded many past presidents.
The House of Representatives passed the health ...

I am confident that we will see the public show up in November, this is the most corrupt group of politicians I have ever seen in my life.
"D’Alfonso said that health professionals should support the bill out of a “desire to give care,”"
So you will use the police power of the state to force other people to care? Then you have already violated your oath.
“if this will allow doctors to provide care to more people, that’s something to be excited about.”
You can already provide care to anyone you want. Or actually, no you can't, thanks to government licensing requirements and other government regulations/interventions in what would otherwise be a free market in health care.
And it is impossible to provide health care to everyone without making cuts if the supply of doctors remains constant.
The passage of this bill officially represented the end of American health care as we knew it. It has now essentially become among the worst in the world. The "health care bill" was never really intended to be about health care but about big government taking a giant leap towards absolute control. Now the American people will pay trillions for the new social system, be forced into it against their personal will, be fined and eventually go to jail no judge no jury for "illegally" refusing the false right to health care, receive a lower quality and expediency of care especially due to an overwhelmed system, risk their pensions being taken away by the IRS to pay for care, get scammed by health insurance companies who wrote the bill, be forced to pay for and/or receive particular operations, indirectly fund abortion, have their clinical value rated through comparative medicine, put their lives at greater risk by trying to drug and mechanize their way back to good health, and be forced to take all vaccines among other horrors. It's unfortunate that the public believes that the government has all of a sudden decided to make everything right after it has been largely responsible for promoting an ever-worsening health care system over the past several decades. Why don't some people think? Why does the fact that polls indicate that most of the American public didn't want this health care bill to pass mean much? Perhaps, its is because 90% of even well-educated Americans have not read a single line in the actual bill and/or have instead relied on ABC/NBC/FOX/CNN/BBC/NPR to give the same interpretation of the same 10% of the 2000+ page bill.
correction to above comment:
Why does the fact that polls indicate that most of the American public didn't want this health care bill *not seem to* mean much?
The Prince couldn't find a single person who disagreed with the proposal to quote? Sloppy journalism...
I completely agree. How difficult would it have been for the Prince to find some professors (or at least students) who are not happy with the passage?
Well, everyone knows that the Prince and this school have a liberal agenda, so it's not surprising at all, unfortunately.
I love the arrogance of “Now the really hard work begins, the really hard political work of explaining to the public generally and demonstrating the benefits of health care reform,” Who does the explaining to the ignorant masses, the same idiots who passed this 3000 page disgrace without reading it? Is it just not possible the people did understand enough about it to know they did not want it???
How can this be so controversial if everyone at apparently is such an enthusiastic supporter??? Gimme a break. As all to often is the case in the media realm these days, this once-respectable publication becomes more and more laughable with each issue. There are some undergraduates at the Prince who possess great journalistic skills and integrity (Carroll comes to mind), but they unfortunately are far and few between.
