And I guess, mkst importantly, are you really so self-centered that you'd prefer to deplive others of the opportunity for the kind of insurance coverage you have, just because they are unlucky enough to work for a company that can't afford to provide it?
NW,
We are talking about a very small percentage of the population. Also, if fearing the government ability to abuse power makes me self-centered, then I guess I am self-centered. It would only take a decision by my boss to make me unemployed and at my age it would be hard to find a job that even pays close to what I am earning today. Still, if it were all to happen, I would not place my trust in the government.
Find another way (I seem to remember having this conversation before). This one is unacceptable.
