Change doesn't come easy.

In all honesty, when this health care law is fully implemented it is going to reduce the number of complaints the State Insurance Commissioners receive from their citizens. I am sure there were many days when commissioners go home wishing there was an Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They probably have plenty of nightmare stories from citizens. I would not under estimate the long term benevolence of the law. 

As a matter of fact, I hope this law increases the number of mental health beds across the country. The law increases the importance of mental health care and the compensation for it. We witnessed yesterday the profound need for those beds.
