Actually I have been on both. And you bring up the expensive COBRA. Also
points out how expensive insurance is for a company. COBRA cost can only be
10% more than the company pays for insurance. My wife went on some medicine
just before a company went out of business. So I had to get HIPAA as she
was "uninsurable". Reason I started another company was so I could get a
group plan for affordable health insurance. And you can get Blue Cross with
group with 2 people.

This begs the question, how much does everyone think the Obama plan
individual insurance is going to be? Do they really think it will be
much less than COBRA?
Unless something got changed in reconciliation, the senate plan capped
rates at $12,000 a year and there is no guarantee that an insurance
company would actually write a policy for that.

then we break the companies and go to a single provdier

As I said, this plan was written to fail so they can say, "see, the
free market doesn't work".

we already say that you idiot!!

The only question left is whether we would ever actually vote in the
tax hikes necessary to fund a single payer government system.

other countries do it. they spend less than we do and get more for it

what part of this dont you understand?
