But I'm sure the bartering system is great considering doctors go to school for 8+ years spending a ridiculous amount of personal time and money to become part of one of the most respected professions on Earth.

Interesting...

Wonder how you got "Republican Health Care Plan" out of a 43 second clip talking about how people paid for their health care decades ago. But whatever.....

I can't believe that's true. That would mean the Republican's are not trying to expand the role of government anymore.

Huh. That's interesting Jeff, because the Democratic version passed and nobody including Congress knows what is in that one either.

Dana, the Dem version is very similar to this one here:

Thanks for the information, but I should have been a little more specific in my reference. I was talking about an article I read in the NY Times that talked about how Congress didn't realize it, but they may have forced themselves to find insurance elsewhere because of passage on the new healthcare bill.

They weren't sure because Congress didn't know what the bill stated and it was written very vaguely.

I have tried to find it via google, but apparently too many keywords like healthcare and coverage are getting me hits. Plus my kids are hounding me, so I surely won't find the article in the next couple of hours.

The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.

But the research service found that this provision was written in an imprecise, confusing way, so it is not clear when it takes effect.

The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible “drafting error,” the report says, Congress did not specify an effective date for the section excluding lawmakers from the existing program.

Under well-established canons of statutory interpretation, the report said, “a law takes effect on the date of its enactment” unless Congress clearly specifies otherwise. And Congress did not specify any other effective date for this part of the health care law. The law was enacted when President Obama signed it three weeks ago.
