I'm not DF but before I joined the army, I paid for my own insurance coverage for about 7 years. If it wasn't for having a wife and kids, I probably never would have had health insurance. If you were to look at who actually used our coverage, it would be 99.9% my family. I don't get sick very often and not enough to visit a doctor or pay for coverage for myself. Why should I be penalized and have money that I work for taken away because I don't need or want something?? This is not about whether or not the current system is working or broken but about individual rights being trampled on and taken away. I have talked to people from Canada, Germany and other countries with socialized medicine and almost all of them will tell you that it is horrible. Trying to get what we consider routine medical care in the United States in those countries borders on insanity. Think about who is wanting to take our money and give it to someone else but do you honestly think they will give up their perks to help anyone of us??? I think not.
