That’s great for you.

And what happens in the unfortunate scenario where you lose your job?

One of the reasons GM failed was huge cost of providing health care to retirees, no? Economic anarchy?[/quote]
I’m under my wife’s insurance, which is much better than what my company provides. We’re a small company, yet, what my company provide is on par with what I was offered to by a different company 6 years ago with similar premium. So, if we both lose our job, we can always get Cobra. If that runs out and both me and my wife can’t find a job, well, I guess we’re SOL. But then again, in this scenario, under the current laws, I don’t have to pay a fine for not having health insurance. Talking about kicking a man when he’s down.[/quote]

And that’s when you can sign up for govt sponsored insurance (if that happens). wink wink. the private insurance industry doesn’t want competition from govt sponsored one because it will be TOO affordable end users.

btw, Cobra is very very expensive. You probably shouldn’t plan on using it for more than a month or so…

If I’m already broke w/ no job, how can I buy govt. sponsored insurance? IIRC, the insurance company actually like Obama’s plan. At least AARP does for sure.

I know people who were on Cobra recently and it wasn’t that much more expensive than before. I think there were new law that got put into place to greatly reduce Cobra cost.

COBRA is very expensive. Don’t plan on using it when you’re umemployed for long.

As for this “debate”, I always wonder why people arguing against universial healthcare always manage to ignore the children.

Is it your contention that kids should be punished for the “crime” that their parents are poor or unemployed? Remember that kid that died from his cavities in DC (two years ago) because his mom couldn’t afford dental care. Is that what we’re saying “tough luck”?

How is this scenario any different than saying to the child of a sexual predator “tough luck kid, you’re born to a sexual deviant and deserved to be abused”.

Right? The logic is as follows “tough luck kid, you’re born to parents without health insurance and deserve what you get”.

Compassionate my arse……
