Will the healthcare reform effect the Bahamas?

In a general sense it will certainly effect the Bahamas on our main industry, Tourism. If people don't have to spend as much money on insurance or medical bills because it will be covered (if it isn't drastic like a big surgery, cosmetic surgery etc) then they would be more inclined to travel and more likely to come here, But it can also backfire the reform will raise government spending on medical spending which can cause tax increases, Thus people would be feeling the pressure and more reluctant to travel seeing as how cost of living is going up. We can only wait and see what happens the vote has only been passed over and there seems to be a huge backlash, especially against the Attorney General Eric Holder, The republicans are voting to hold Holder (kind of funny play on words) for contempt, which seems to be a ploy to hinder the progression of "Obamacare" but I doubt it will stick.
