If the US has 17% of the population 'exposed' as far as health coverage, address the problem there. Do not f**k things up for the othe 83% who are doing just fine under our present system.

And there you have it, Folks completely unsolicited; the BuShite Mantra: "I'm OK, Jack!"

PS: please, not the tired and meaningless scare tactic phrase "socialized medicine" dreamed up by the AMA propaganda office in the 1950's.

And PDQ: just wait until 1. you turn 65 and try to deal with BuShite gutted Medicare and/or 2. your current health care corporation quadruples your costs and/or 3. your employer drops your health care benefit entirely or prices it out of your reach. You'll be singin' out of the other side of your mouth, mate.
