BTW I have used the NASE plans and bought through eHealthInsurance.

Both are more costly out-of-pocket but handle major health issues. It would great to be able to buy coverage in a competitive market free of government meddling.

Rather than reform a system that connects health insurance to employment in an age in which employment is highly fluid, our politicians decided undertake a huge power grab with little regard to quality of care or costs.

Virtually all Government-run health care systems offer poor care compared to what American are used to seeing. If the hapless Democrats manage to ram this through they will probably never recover politically. Plus the rest of the world depends on innovation from US companies, most of whom are targeted for extinction as the designated "villains" by the Government. Where will the refugees from the rest of the world's socialized medicine go?

The whole thing is a mess.
