Will health care costs actually go down if congress passes health care reform?

As I'm sure a lot of you have read or heard bits of intended health care reform bills that have been floating though the house and senate. The 2,000 page house bill has ****** and the senate has ****** a resolution to debate and vote on the bill.

The question I have, is will it actually lower the cost of health care? They are talking about taxing medical products, taxes on certain insurance plans, requiring people that do not have health insurance to buy it or get fined, and maybe, but probably not, go to jail if they don't. They say they will set aside money for people that are not able to buy it because of being too poor, or losing their jobs, but that makes no sense, because if you count on blocks of people to be paying for insurance that aren't making enough money to buy insurance, then you have to borrow, spend less or raise the premiums.

I saw this simple video on YouTube and it makes some sense -- the only way to lower the cost of health is to lower the costs that make up the total cost of the health care services to consumers. If the cost to provide those services continue to go up so will cost of insurance and the taxes that go with it.

If you guys got anything, I'd love to hear it, because from all that I've read from all different sources, gives me the impressions that no one has a fucking clue on what it's going to take to provide cheap health care.
