I come to offer a second opinion on this bill and now this law. I think these things have not been accomplished by the bill that has been signed into law. This bill--this bill now signed into law--is going to be bad for patients, bad for providers--the nurses and doctors who take care of these patients--and bad for payers, the people who are going to be paying the bill for this new law, the taxpayers of the country. I believe fundamentally that in passing this law, this is going to result in higher costs for patients, not lower costs. It will result in less access for patients, not more access.
