The flaws of the current system are apparent and people are suffering. As another poster pointed out, having your health coverage tied to your job is a rather absurd approach if your goal is to ensure that every person has the health coverage they need.

Except that's not the goal of half the country. You know, the you have to earn everything crowd, free anything breeds lazyness.

And you know the polarization of the country means nothing is 'unintended'. Ads will go up immediately, they INTEND to raise your taxes to give away healthcare. Next they'll give away your freedom!!! Slippery slope.
