Please allow me enlighten you about the future of health benefits for the American worker from the perspective of small business. The public option allows the employer to drop health insurance on his employee for 8% penalty/tax of his wages. When putting this in perspective on a local level, it will cost employers roughly $300 per month to drop health coverage on the employee and let him go find his own coverage. That figure is based on the average income of an individual living in Wise County at $45,000 per year.
The employee is then required by law to purchase a policy for himself and his family at a rate decided by the U.S. government based on coverage, deductible, ect.
The IRS will make sure both employer and employee comply.
This has got to be the best thing that ever happened to business in America. Our government is encouraging employers to drop its insurance on its employees and let them handle it for a mere 8% of the employee's gross. That's a bargain for business!
What business wouldn't drop coverage as health care costs skyrocket? I can't blame them either. If the working people of this country are so stupid as to allow this to happen, then let them pay for it themselves.
Let the average American worker see what people go through as those whose health care depend on Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran's benefits and Native American services. Let them take a number in the Emergency Room and wait 3 or 4 hours to get their child's broken arm set.
Just remember, if you sat on your a$$ and did nothing, you were warned. If you weren't warned, then you probably deserve it for going through life either deaf, dumb, blind, comatose or indifferent. If you have been a proponent of universal health care, you have no right to complain when you experience the physical and emotional pain of seeing those you love suffer.
There is one upside to government run health care. Natural selection will once again weed out the weak and ignorant. The next great plague like AIDs or HIV in the U.S. will be at a cost much higher than anything America has experienced to date. Americans will become victims of their own stupidity, and God won't be allowed to help.

Right on! Right on every point!
I agree with you. I think what we need to do is to vote back Republicans to high office and do nothing about health care. Why break a perfect system, am I right?
All these facts about European & Asian health care giving better results for less money are hog-wash. Hog-wash, I tell ya!
And let's not kid ourselves, insurance companies are the best thing America's got going for it at the moment. They epitomize efficiency and benevolence. I can only hope to God that your mother becomes uninsured so that we can all sit back and relax while the good insurers will bend over backwards to accommodate her in a plan of her choosing.
