Everyone who is getting decent health care now has nothing to gain and
everything to lose. I think people are beginning to understand that.

I don't know your particular situation, but quite a few people *think*
they have excellent coverage, until they actually try to use it. It's a
fact that health care costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the
U.S., even when people have health care insurance.

Remember, most people's insurance is tied to their jobs. Get a long term
illness, you lose your job and your insurance, then go bankrupt.


Most of those in this newsgroup who are opposed to health care insurance
reform are retired Republicans with substantial assets and health care
insurance or retired military with federal health care. It's part of the
Republican "I've got mine, so **** you" syndrome. They do not care about
Americans who unfortunately fall into the "Get a long term
illness, you lose your job and your insurance, then go bankrupt." scenario.
