It clearly mixes church and state which should be a no-no. Public shaming of women smacks of the Catholic Church and far-right fundamentalism.

One report I read said that people with pre-existing conditions can still be turned down until 2014. If true, how does that help someone denied insurance who is suffering from cancer or pre-existing conditions now?

It appears that EVERYONE'S cost will go up.
I'm sure senior citizens will take a direct hit as well as the hard-working middle class.
It seems as if the big insurers/Pharma will have the upper hand even more now.

So I repeat, what good has any of this done for the average American citizen?
