Now . It will be a little more popular. Or people will be signed up. That reality will change up up change the publics opinion. Hopefully washington will not selfdestruct. Change ifbe big people do not have that hanging over the heads even though we have the debt ceiling looming. Washington will be quieter. I think it will take a long time for the reality of health care to settle in. Hopefully the economy continues to strengthen. How do you see health care in six months .

If any changes are made, it could be months if ever. I want to get to a quick quote from the president address today. Take a listen. What a did not do a stop ease programs wholesale.
