You are absolutely correct. I know a homeless guy, who lives in his truck and depends on a friend who lives and works on the same property. His recent hospital visits were at Valley General, compliments of taxpayers.

He doesnt have a job. Therefore, no employer can be taxed to pay his health benefits.
The only money he has, he spends on dope. The bottom line is, people like me, who dont have health insurance will spend more on insurance, than we do on health costs. It wont always be like that, but they will eventually find a way to wein me from my dependency on food and air.

if 47 miilion people didnt have auto insurance, would we be having that discussion? You would think that more than 47 million people die from starvation. We dont have social food care. Didnt they give that up in the Soviet Union?

If this is all about compassion, just let Obama tell us how much his govt health care coverage is going to cost the rest of us. From the program I saw on cnbc, the roundtable discussion, Doctor Frist, said the plan is worth 16-17,000 dollars per year. Sorry, but I cant pay more for health care than I do for a mortgage. One of those people said, americans will have to get use to spending less than 50% of their income on housing and transportation.

There are approximately 57-59 requirements in health insurance in washington state. Many of those requirements dont affect a single male, non smoker. That along with other mandates have reduced the level of competition in health insurance. Thats what it is. Its not health care. I pay cash for health care. But thats not good enough. They want access to my bank account. I dont want to pay for pregnancy care and viagra.
Just wait until the psychologists get the recognition on the government health care plan. Youll need 12 paid days of work to go see the shrink. The end result, will be less people in medicine and virtually no independent search for new medicine and other technology for early diagnosis. Rationing will become them vs us. 200,000 dollars for a premature baby or 200,000 for a heart transplant for a senior. And of course middle america will be forgotten, but the parents and future classmates at Sidwell Friends, will get the medical care they want.

Imagine having David Seuter decide your home should be demolished for the benefit of the city tax revenue. oh, that happened. I cant wait for the next Judge to decide who lives and who dies.

I didnt see any restrictions on members of the bar association.
