When Will They Realize It?

I agree that if it's going to remain employer based.. they all need to offer a standard,good,affordable coverage.. it would have to be 'standardized' or 'uniform' or something to give people the ability to change jobs and keep the same coverage..but that doesn't help the unemployed.

That said, under both circumstances can you imagine how far rates will go down with that kind of participation?

we could really truly have the best care in the world..

I don't know why the concept is so... 'socialist'..

take the USPS.. Their employees get Federal BC/BS... there's not much out there that's better. it's not 'state' BCBS, it's Federal... and they are able to give it to the 'sick' 'healthy' 'old' and 'young' for a pretty damn cheap price, and their spouses and family.. because the 'pool' of people in the plan is huge.. same thing with WDW. between every WDW employee at the parks,cruise-line,retail shops... here and in CA.. they could offer a mac-daddy plan with all those people paying into it...it's not a hard concept to follow.

that's why single payer is such a great idea.. we're all paying for it anyway..with extreme rates. why not 're-negotiate' what we're doing and pay a better rate and insure more people..

hell, the right is all about 'union busting'.. but when you want to bust the 'insurance union' then you're forcing socialism upon good Americans..

fucking lunatics..
