First of all, you can ignore that "teabagger" nonsense.
There's no 6 month waiting period. The difference is, with the reforms more people will actually be able to *get* healthcare.
The crazies on the extreme right are being led by the nose by a bunch of very rich, very crooked liars. They attack the healthcare bill not because it's bad but because they hate Obama. The pantheistic thing is that this man they hate so much is the one who is trying to help them. They adore the ones who are walking on their heads. Go figure.
