I don't know how the bill is going to affect America, I have read many newspapers etc, time will tell if it will save money (insurance is a shared risk, more people on the policies = cheaper policies in theory, plus medicare/medicaid reform) or if it will cost a ton of moeny over the next 10 years and for the future....my point is experts at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other firms that study these things and how they affect cost to buisnesses bottom lines must not think that this bill is going to hose us.  Otherwise the markets would be reacting differently.  It's a fact, look at the numbers of the stock market over the last week since the bill was signed.



You for got to add when in that statement.  Goldman et al has had ~ a year to look at the major proposals that are now in the bill and have some idea of the timing of any effect.  It would be precpitous to jump all out now if the adverse effects will not be felt until 2-5 years out.  As I said look for profit taking at the end of this year before the new Cap gains rate kicks in (to cash out now you would likly loose some gains).  Addiitionally there will be unintended consequences and it will take time for all that to shake out. Again I will say just because the market did not undergo a sell off the minute Obama sined the bill, that will take years to implement. does not invalidate the claim that HC is bad for business.
