I'm not up to speed with this legislation, maybe someone can explain.

The Times in the UK says that everyone is to be forced to take out private health insurance....If they do not they are to be taken to court and face a haevy fine.

Why is this a "good" thing?
Why do you think that this brings a national health service nearer?
I should think that this will turn out to be a gravy train for the insurance companies.
Maybe that's what Jack means when he says it will be good for the economy...:0)

I think Hawk is right and this is simply a political game which has made one teams chances a little brighter.

and democracy a little dimmer.
