In regard to health care which will affect everything else, I am afraid we are going to look back from some very difficult times ahead. I have a cousin who owns some restaurants, and is just at the fifty employees limit; he was holding off expanding to another facility pending the election. No more. Multiply this thousands of times.

I think I already see it in decreased patient numbers in our facility. I believe we are going to see a disaster either very acutely but more probably mitigated by a long, drawn out painful (no pun intended) process with great increases in costs (many health care dollars going to a bureaucracy), less accessibility (determined by age, etc-rationing), and lower quality.

Even CPAs and tax guys are going nuts right now when they are usually sending out their end-of-the-year tax planning letters. They don't know what's going to happen.
