It is my understanding that the problem is with young adults not taking out insurance regardless of affordibility. Anyone have a guess about what a policy with a $5,000 deductible would cost? It might take a big load off the system if that was mandated of young workers who cant produce a certificate of insurance.

But some of us think it is insane to discard a well-functioning system for no reason at all -- other than to give the Dems an issue to run a campaign on. The health care system may be functioning fine but the payment system is dysfunctional and hugely expensive. And at the end of the day our society can't afford to pay double what every other industrialized country is paying... with the demographic bubble starting in ~5 years. How do you solve that problem David Ray?
