ya, they did awhile back...I think that stunk up the whole deal, and was a lesson learned.
hey, do I owe you a 100 bucks?
But I'm not going to hold you to that. It was a sucker's bet and I can't do that to you.

US stocks fell after the Massachusetts senatorial election but
rallied when the chances of the reform improved and after its
approval they rose again.
So, the latter can mean that the markets like the reform
because it makes entrepreneurs safer when taking risks. Also,
another theory is that the issue is not as important for markets
as the yelling Republican-philistines may suggest.

Originally posted by SeitseThe main thing right now for the stock markets is that the issue has FINALLY been resolved and everyone now knows what the new rules will be. I'm sure most businesses hated the uncertainly of not really knowing whether this thing would pass or not.

That being said, I agree - as the propsects for passing healthcare reform was growing increasingly certain, there was and is no evidence of investors fleeing in terror.

Originally posted by no1marauderThe Dems probably still face an uphill battle in November, especially if the unemployment rate stays high.

But the chances that Republicans would sweep into power were probably even greater before healthcare reform was passed. Do you think any Democrats were spared in 1994 because healthcare reform ultimately wasn't passed?
Most of the Dems were already on record this year for having voted for it, and even the ones voting against it would have been found guilty by association. But at least now when the GOP campaigns against them, the Dems will be able to talk about the good things that are in the new law - which is a lot better than being stuck with talking about the good things that were in a bill that they themselves weren't able to get passed.
