Agreed.
If memory serves, Maine or some north eastern state passed something similar. So that is being held up as the 'model' for this bullshit. I do not think it should be forced on anyone personally.
I think there should be a basic health care offered to anyone via Medicare or whatever. Then people can opt for the supplemental coverage. Whether paid by employer or individual.
If insurance companies want to stay in business, then they need to be competitive. Their are still going to be many who opt to pay for supplemental coverage. Just as some doctors now do not accept all insurance types.
That said, it is far too complex an issue for myself, or anyone, to sum up with a few posts on GFY. We will all speak from the different socio-economic perspectives. But I think that some form of basic coverage should be offered, and not forced, to the
legal U.S. citizens who pay fucking taxes.
But I digress...
