Retired Doc on health care reform

In a way, criticisms surrounding the health care reform bill resemble those surrounding the patriot act: an opportunistic rush to implementation in a time or crisis; senators and representatives who didn't read the entire bill; bending the Constitution; threats to individual liberty; sweeping executive powers which circumvent legislative or judicial approval; and unintended consequences.

Retired Doc has been on a roll with a series of must read posts which serve as a repository of these concerns:
