Honestly, I support it because doing nothing was simply unsustainable. A "public option" seemed to be the insurance industry's mortal foe and yet I think looking back, they should have supported it for the individuals who won't sign up. Things are definitely changing and, though ugly now, I think will be better in the long run. My real question is, does the insurance industry want the law repealed?  On a side note, I feel like we have to leave one of the old parts of healthcare completely behind. If you choose not to have insurance, forget about showing up at the emergency room and having it paid for. That's draconian, but I just don't see letting that slide when other options are available.</blockquote>
