Here is the bad news from the House of Representatives with a timeline for the most massive bailout ever — the bailout of the private for-profit insurance industries. Looks like they have until 2018 to make all the money they can.
Based on this, I think we should tell liberal Democrats to dump health reform NOW or we will dump Democrats. No bill at all is better than a bailout of the private insurance industry at taxpayer expense.

RESCISSIONS: Prohibits abusive
practices whereby health insurance companies rescind existing health insurance
policies when a person gets sick as a way of avoiding covering the costs of
enrollees’ health care needs.
NEW LIMITS ON PRE-EXISTING
CONDITION EXCLUSIONS: Prior to the
bill’s complete prohibition on pre-existing condition exclusions beginning in
2013, reduces the window that plans can look back for pre-existing conditions

coverage of certain benefits. It also prohibits insurers from limiting or
denying coverage based on acts stemming from domestic violence.[…]

This is what can be expected to happen when the American public allows corporations to take over, buy politicians, show an almost disregard for politics and informing themselves on issues, and when a majority of a minority elects the generally thoroughly corrupt politicians, ot to mention letting the Dumbcrats and Repugnacans control who runs for office.
