This one is sure to ruffle some feathers. Its a question that certainly has me perplexed.

Any Goverment run program just reeks of waste, Long lines, Slow service, Bad or no care. And of course very high taxes to pay for what your not getting. YUC.

But I also believe the system we have is broke beyond repair. health care costs are rising at a alarming rate. Also our companies are at a very bad disadvantage when compared to other non US companies that dont have health ins cost.
Good example would be Ford and GM that have about $2000 extra figured into the price of a car just to cover health care for thier older work force.

Also a even worse thing is happening. Alot of companies are dumping thier workers when they get into thier 40's. 20 year olds just dont have the same ins costs as does a work force in thier 40's. Now they are not just firing people just because they are 40. but it is funny that there are all of a sudden " your job has been eliminated so we have to let you go" Type things going on. Only to have a restructuring happen latter and guess what? that possition comes back with a different name. And a 20 year old kid doing the work. Hmmmmmm Not saying just saying. looks funny to me.
Its known that a companies Ins pemiums are based on the over all age of thier work force. And alot of companies to save money self insure over a certain amount.

So were do we go from here?
My solution would be a pool of insurance that all companies pay into. Your ins would follow you from job to job and you could pay the premium your self if self employed or between jobs.
Not run by the goverment but over seen by the goverment.
What say you?
