Subject: RE: BS: A Declaration of Impeachment
People who have insurance, as I've said before, are accepting handouts. Any money above the amount of their premiums, copays and deductables that their insurance pays for them is money they are being given as a handout from the other members of their insurance pool.

Get ready for some major messing around with the health care system if McCain gets elected, because his plan is the most radical change to our health care "system" that anyone has ever proposed.

According to his plan, any money that is paid on anyone's behalf for their insurance (employer based insurance), will be taxed. This will mean that the young and healthy members of everyone's insurance pool will opt out of their employer based plans and buy cheap insurance that only the young and healthy can get. This will leave the older people who are more in need of care as the only ones in the employer based insurance pool. This will make the premiums too expensive for many employers and employer based plans, and many, many people will lose their current insurance. And the ones who don't will have to pay taxes on theirs.

I don't need to move to another country. This country is a democracy and I can work to change what's wrong with this country instead of having to leave. That's why people leave places like Cuba to come here. But I already have this right, so there's no reason for me to go anywhere. On the other hand, people like the above poster, who seem to think that voters don't have the right to try to improve this country, those are the ones who would be more comfortable living in a dictatorship. I invite them to go find one that will allow them in. I'm sure there's plenty to choose from.
