I know quite a few small businesses that will just drop the coverage. This will be a mess. Another payroll deduction likeS.S. and medicaid. And what kind of doctor will accept "welfare" coverage? With all the hassles that come with it. Try and find a dentist that uses "healthy kids" coverage, not many do. This plan needs to be revised and tweaked.
What needs to be done is insurance reform.
We also already have a gov't run health care system - it's called Medicaid.
Why can't they clean the shit and corruption out of that, make it so anyone who wants to buy into the govt' plan can do so on a sliding scale (according to income) basis? This will put money INTO the system which in turn has more money to give to the doctors and hospitals which will in turn make it a bit more appealing for doctors to accept the Medicaid.
Everyone bitched and whined about the loss of privacy with the Patriot Act but did any of them consider the amount of privacy you're going to lose when you're part of the 'system' of health care?
