I have health insurance, provided by my employer. Damned good insurance. It's not "Congress Good", but it's damned good. It's also insanely expensive. My CEO has made no secret that she is totally in favor of the government plan, and it doesn't take a psychic to read between the lines and see that our current plan will be dumped, the very day the government plan becomes available. The current plan is way more expensive than the 8% "fine" she would have to pay for us to get on the government system. So, I get crappy, government-run health care, if I live long enough to actually get an appointment, and some bureaucrat decides I'm worthy, plus I get higher taxes to pay for it, and the same pay. If there's any reason at all that I shouldn't be opposed to this dumb-ass idea, I'll be fucked if I can think of it. I pay more, and I get less for it. Hmm, let me think about that for a second...

If there's some way to give insurance to people who don't have any, and do it without me paying for it, and without destroying the insurance I already have, rock on. Otherwise, you can eat shit.
