There is no cost-cutting measures in the bill that will fundamentally reduce costs. I found it odd that Obama would threaten insurance companies with anti-trust, yet not act on it. Considering that these monopolies are created by government regulations in the first place. Usually the government regulates for special interests, not for fair markets. I don't think universal health insurance is necessary. Free markets can handle insurance, and indeed health insurance, or health care in general are not completely free. This bill is just going to make something that was already bad even worse. Well you are correct on a lot of points about corruption, that is why I am an anarchist.

Here is a thorough exam of this value system as it relates to health care. It was written by Maggie Mahar (Health Beat blog). Definitely worth a read: When I read it in march, I became convinced that no meaningful health care reform would come to pass. I so wish events would have proved me wrong.
