>> $8,500 seems rather low. Depends on the individual. $8,500 would be cheap for me, but very expensive for my 26 year old son.

>No one can tell me what a "Cadillac plan" is and why it implies "luxuries" that the average plan doesn't provide. $8,500 seems rather low. It's based on the cost of the plan. $8,500 for an individual and (I believe) $17,000 for a family. It goes up with overall inflation, but not that of the health care market. >I don't know what you are talking about. Growing government to the tune of $1.2 trillion over ten years doesn't come cheap. That's an additional $1,600 per family of four, if you spread out the costs evenly. If you do it progressively, it's not as bad. >I also don't know why you are opposed to "revenue neutral." You'd rather we increase the deficit? I'm not totally opposed to it. It just isn't as high a priority to me as saving lives. -Z
