>>I disagree pretty much across the board<< I knew that ... but private insurance is by no means "private." It is regulated heavily. There are all kinds of restrictions on what can be offered, who can offer it and how they can offer it. The two "separate" systems are just part of one larger socialized system in my view. The whole thing is busted. Who doesn't know someone that has had someone older in their family who has had to do something that was financially stoopit, so they could get moved to medicare. Why should I pay for YOUR healthcare?? Why should you pay for MINE?? We don't even need a "right" to insure ourselves -- absent all the regulation -- a market would spring up which would have many more offerings available. But then again -- I think social security isn't and should be stopped immediately.
