Everyone who is getting decent health care now has nothing to gain and

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.


Harry you are just plain wrong. Nobody is opposed to reforming our
health care system. We are opposed to the government taking over the
health care system.

After the years of National Socialism under the Bush household a
government takeover of health care sounds good. At least they aren't
spending billions loosing another war. That was money down a rathole.
