7. The handwriting's been on the wall for some time now
I do recall a part of the stimulus package that partially paid the COBRA premiums for the laid-off, all it did was funnel money into the gaping maw of the insurance companies.

All we're going to get is a mandate for everyone to buy health insurance, with a bit of subsidy for people with children who don't have enough to buy it on their own. You'll probably see another five or six percent taken out of your paycheck, unless you have a passel of kids.
