This is what we get

I don’t know if Goldberg has all the details correct or not in It’s “I Told You So” on ObamaCare, but we are definitely paying the price for having a Congress that can pass enormous, incredibly complicated bills without adequately studying or debating them first. Or even knowing what the heck they’re voting on.
Even people who support Obamacare should be appalled at the process Congress followed with this law.
“We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it” should be Nancy Pelosi’s political epitaph. (The woman is a fount of dumb comments, e.g., here.)

Obamacare is a product of insurance and pharmaceutical company lobbying. I fully expect it to fail, but I hope that the expectation that we ought to have a 20th century health care system will make a workable system rather than abandonment the necessary successor.
On a related topic, it’s interesting that some people seem to want manufacturing workers to be paid on a globalized scale, but recoil when we suggest that American physicians are ridiculously overpaid compared to the rest of the world.
