The bill that was passed had nothing to do with reform. It merely expanded government into the medical sector with a Medicare-style approach. The unnecessarily expensive and doomed Medicare model was used with no thought given to incentives.
Real reform would have allowed insurance companies to compete across state lines, reined in the tort bar, and incentivized both customers and providers to be less wasteful. For example, Health Savings Accounts and minor copays were sidelined.

The layoffs and the GDP growth slowdown are additional reasons why the federal deficit will increase beyond current dismal projections. The latest congressional cost-cutting to lower the deficit assumed certain revenues churned out by an economy on a particular growth path. Those growth forecasts are now being rapidly revised downward, so lower revenues will follow.
CA officials just discovered their most recent sales tax revenues–normally a stable and easily predicted number–came in 10% under expectations.

A great article that should be read by any Piggs with teenagers.
We had a dot-com bubble, a housing bubble, and will next see a higher-ed bubble unfold.
Colleges and universities can no longer hide their inefficiencies, their lack of accountability, and their administrative bloat.
