You seem to think what was recently passed is the be-all and end-all. It
isn't.

To the contrary,
I doubt it was much more than a symbolic victory for the Democrats.
If anything it is part of a long term plan to destroy the insurance
industry and substitute that public plan the democrats want. The only
problem with that idea is we would then have to bail out insurance
company workers. Nobody really wants to cut into 17% of the economy,
no matter how hard they rail against it.

I am entirely in favor of destroying the health insurance industry, and
replacing it with a system whose primary consideration is the best
outcome for patients.

There you go. ;-)

So much for "you can keep your existing plan" huh?

Why? What *I* favor and what our political system will allow, in
health care insurance, are hardly the same thing. Frankly, I think the
plan I have is pretty good; the shame is that it isn't available to most
Americans. How it would be paid for if it were universal is an entirely
separate discussion.
