		<description>Jim, you&#039;re very thoughtful, but... 

I disagree on the terms that health care insurance is a privilege not a right. 1st thing I looked for when searching full time employment is where the benefit of healthcare is offered. Equal pay, equal cost of insurance along with choice  to take it, or not, many chose not. Because many chose not to, brought on an opportunity to call it a &quot;crisis.&quot; Peoples&#039; personal health is people&#039;s personal business and personal accountability. 

It is really not a fact that people can&#039;t afford it, they choose not to afford it and put frivolous affordability before this practical one. If people want the less costly, government healthcare, it should be paid by the exact ones that receive it within their affordability. The rest of us should be exempt!
Sorry to be repetitive.</description>

		<description>The mandate should be used to have people who can afford it pay for insurance. People who can&#039;t afford it will be automatically exempt. Then the level of subsidies is more of a moral vs. cost question it doesn&#039;t really affect the overall reform effort. </description>

		<description>I can&#039;t tell you how much this disturbs me, but it really should disturb Doctors and Lawyers. you are about to be shoved down to a level quite different than you have now. Having experience &quot;socialized&quot; medicine the Doctor&#039;s are overworked to the point of obtaining an attitude of just move the herd through! In a typical government run health system things such as age, physical condition of the patient play a huge part in the government deciding if you will get helped or put out to pasture to make room for others. I have a cousin in Canada who is on a waiting list for a heart transplant. Because of his age he as been slip lower on the list, and will continue so. This health care is not cheap either, expect to reduce your pay quite a bit more. this is a bad deal all the way around! </description>
