Yeah, we've got 3 generations of consumers who, in general, haven't done much shopping for medical services. Partly due to the fact that you used to either be dead or alive, and partly due to the consumer being abstracted from the money and services they're purchasing. So, IMO, we don't need to add yet another government agency in-between you and your money and your doctor. That agency being, at a minimum, the Internal Revenue Service. Who's opposed to getting paid the wages they earn and spending them on the plan they choose? If a "public option" is out there, fine, but then it's not really a competitor if it doesn't have to play by the same rules as the other plans. Kinda like saying Nikes made by 8 year old pacific islanders without benefits made in factories with no safety equipment compete with a US factory of adult employees operating under US law. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
