I practice internal medicine near Los Angeles (http://drgagne.com). It's clear to any physician currently in practice that the health care system is broken and falling apart rapidly. If reform fails to pass, unless you work for a Fortune 500 firm, you will almost certainly lose your insurance within the next few years. Opponents of reform are using FUD to scare you, but almost all of their claims are lies. For example, there NEVER were any "death panels." Here are some great descriptions of what's in the bill and what's not: 1. Quick summary from the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/health-care-reconciliation/ 2. Nice graphic of how much it costs and why it lowers the deficit: http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-031910-sc_health_care_costs-g,0,6098627.graphic 3. Fabulous answers to "twenty questions" about what's REALLY in the bill: http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-oe-kmiecweb19-2010mar19,0,6451390.story ---Jim Gagne, MD---
