You can't count Teddy for the purposes of this bill, Riginslinger, since he wasn't here this time to try to get them included in the bill.

Employers will be helped by the new law. There will be tax credits for employers to help them provide their employees with health care. As employers ourselves (we are a corporation, so we are our own employees), we expect to be helped by the new law in this respect. It's not as good as single payer not for profit, but it's definitely an improvement over what we've had until now.

Other than tort reform, I don't think there are any major proposals offered by the Republicans that were not included in the bill.
