Yeah, one of the reasons why I'd cut the tie between employers and group coverage. If employers wanted to contribute tax-free to an HRA, that's great, but the plan should be independent of employers. It's why I think this whole "public option" is like an idiot bizarro world idea. We already have a "public option": it's called medicaid and medicare. So just expand eligibility if that's the genius answer. I mean here the problem is complicated mess or constituents with misaligned incentives and the answer is another constituent? That's just stupid. (just ranting - not directed at you) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
