And of great concern to all of us who have followed the healthcare debate. She makes the very good point that when you have group coverage through your place of employment, your employer covers - much of the time - a very substantial part of your premiums. My wife's employer sends a statement out each year that shows what they paid for benefits, and the health insurance costs are enough to kill smaller or low margin businesses. Healthcare is expensive, and for anyone to provide insurance to everyone, you will have a majority of the people who contribute far more than they would ever use. Whether it is public or private, the numbers just will not be "fair". The taxpayers can pay FAR more in taxes to a Government agency that is as efficient as uh.... the Government; or FAR more in premiums to a private company that may or may not be run efficiently, these will be our choices to get close to "universal coverage".
