Subject: RE: BS: US Health Care Reform
That would be me for one, and, number one, it's fair, number two, insead of eliminating unspecified waste in Medicare it has real and obvious savings by eliminating waste in employee benefits paperwork processing and sales and incompatibility, and eliminates "waste" in the form of tax subsidies to corporations to provide fancier coverage for employees at the high end, number three, I will always know that I can afford insurance even if I lose my job, at rates that are far less than COBRA, and subsidized all the way to free if I am really strapped, number 5, if I should get some condition I will have free range of employment to choose from, and number 6, I will not be exposed to cost-shifting wherever it can be snuck in (such as when I have been screwed by my employer's chosen insurer.)
