If "this bill", meaning the bill currently being debated somewhat irrationally in Congress, passes, then not much will happen. The unsustainable costs of medical care will continue to increase, fewer and fewer people will be able to afford it, private an public debt will continue to grow.The reality is that medical care currently accounts for over 17% of the GDP in this country, and that the costs continue to go up faster than the rate of inflation. About half of those costs are currently born by the government. A significant part of government debt is due to medical care, just as a significant number of citizens who are facing economic hardship are doing so due to medical care costs. The reality is that "this bill" will do nothing to stop the runaway cost anyway. The reality is that no one is pushing "socialized medicine in the US anyway, and that few understand what that phrase even means. The reality is that we are facing a crisis, and are busily engaged in a bogus left wing vs right wing debate over nonsense and doing nothing to meet the coming challenge. The reality is that medical care in the past was primitive, but not very costly. Today, modern medicine can work miracles, but at a price. But, those who see disagreement as mental illness tend to be blind to reality.
