[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about regulating the health insurance and pharmaceutical companies to cut costs rather than focusing on limiting coverage for the sick and elderly?

I know it won’t happen, but dare to dream, right?

We have Cadillac insurance, and I don’t want to lose it. I’d rather see Medicare and Medicaid expanded for those who need it.[/quote]

Yes, that would be great but you are correct. It won’t happen.

The  reason nothing gets done though is: the large percentage of people like you who have good employer policies+Medicare+Medicaid. Those three combined are the  majority of Americans. There isn’t any real political will to fix things for the rest (it really is not a politically winning issue).

But not everyone can get a job with Cadillac health insurance or qualify for Medicaid or Medicare so what to do about these people??

I disagree. Although we technically fall into the category of “good employer health plan” those plans are getting crappier and more expensive by the day. Fewer and fewer people are happy with their employer coverage, us among them.[/quote]
