Personally, I tend to favor a government sponsored plan in competition with private plans. On the other hand, I'm not utterly against single payer either. I don't believe that any industry has a right to continue to exist. Governments have a long history of providing basic services in society, like electricity, water, roads, etc. In most countries, health insurance falls under this same sort of category. I think that a variety of structures could potentially work, but I definitely feel that government has a strong role to play in health insurance and reform. > Either of you do any programming for insurance companies or insurance > company dependent businesses? I do indeed. In fact, my entire work for the last couple years has been writing software for the health care field. I work directly with medical billing people all the time and have for several years. It has definitely informed my opinions on the health insurance debate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:317656 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
