As a self employed person I have to go out every three years or so and get a W2 job with a big company so I can get on COBRA, which is expensive, but affords far better coverage than I can get independently. What we need are large groups and choices creating REAL competition. The groups must and should be completely independent of the employer. An instance of an illness or injury should be covered for the duration of the illness or injury, provided the insured was covered at the onset regardless of if the insured is able to continue coverage. Far too many get injured, lose their jobs and then their insurance etc. The other problem we run into a lot is gouging, where a simple aspirin is charged at a rate of $5 each or prescription drugs cost $500+ a month where the same company sells to clients in Canada for a fraction of the cost. The other big issue, Cash clients are often charged many times more than insured clients, where Insurance should be reserved for ONLY catastrophic illness and regular care should be provided to ALL clients at the same rate. This would also go a long way to allowing smaller providers on the field.

Fines for not participating and reductions in existing coverage, higher taxes etc are not necessary IMO.

I would guess we will need to see FAR worse than we have seen so far before any kind of criminal inquiry is undertaken. Clearly Goldman Sachs supposed big recent profit was a ploy to get bonuses to senior staff back on track. The hell with the future of the company. Nice thing about living in a “democracy”… It is your fault for voting for the morons we have in government today, and if you were one of the many who gave up voting because it is all fixed anyway, it is your fault too!!!

Back in 2005 I used to tell realtor’s to expect a 50% drop in property prices in the next few years and millions of foreclosures. They laughed, but I would tell them it was simple 2 + 2 = 4 math after which they shut up and gave up.

I am telling you today the next big tsunami train heading our way is ALT-A along with increased consumer debt defaults, followed by far higher unemployment and more bailouts, followed by the biggest tsunami train wave yet as trillions of dollars of commercial paper die, followed by financial Armageddon as some 90% of ALL debts default, including virtually all retirement funds. But who am I? Just a simple engineer, not a wise economist, so what would I know?

About the time all this is supposed to happen, Obama’s health plan should be taking effect. Or not!

The above assertion is based on the likely deflationary scenario we see unfolding today.

The most likely health bill to pass will include a fine for (the rich) – earners over $16K a year of around $750 each. This sounds like a BIG tax increase on wage earners between $25K and $50K who are barely meeting their current obligations or rent and car payments etc in more expensive areas of the country. I have not heard how much health insurance will cost these families, but a partially employed family of 4 could easily end up with a $3,000 fine each year in additional IRS taxes for failing to pay some undetermined amount in health insurance premiums. This does not sound constitutional to me, and most certainly is not the NO taxes we were promised for earners under $250K a year. I had this administration pegged as Bush 2 from the get go.

My main concern is that we will live out the remains of our lives with two big chunks of moon orbiting the Earth and have to explain to our grandchildren how it used to be round and in one piece 🙂

Seriously though it sounds like a pretty interesting project. I cannot wait to see the results.
