One question on the health care initiatives

Some may feel that I am overstating the situation but I can't help but questioning why there is a need to move so fast to effect changes to something that is anywhere between 1/7 and 1/5 of our economy. I am truly confounded by this.

It takes one to two years to decide on who will even run for the Presidency much less who will become president. It took the Obama family six months to decide on the type of dog that they wanted. It takes most people several months to decide on what type of vehicle they are going to buy next but our illustrious leaders have decided to affect a major part of our economy in a matter of two or three months. They are in such a hurry to pass some type of legislation, perhaps to make it look like they are actually doing something, that they aren't even willing to read the legislation that is being proposed in detail.

People tell me that I am playing "chicken little," that I am over-reacting to the situation. I have to wonder though, would any family move so quickly to do something that could adversely affect their incomes by 1/7 to 1/5? I rather doubt it.
