The Straven, I agree with what you are saying about possible state run options, they sound like they would be the most efficient of government run health care options.
Pietvo, those mutual funds are definitely what I would like to see more of. From what I understand they work, and work well for most people. I've looked into some for myself.
GeoffC, that is exactly what I see people upset about, and its why I disagree with this health care bill that was passed and I support what the Georgia House is trying to pass. No person should be compelled to pay for anything. I understand taxes for living in certain areas and receiving certain benefits, but this (I believe) takes that too far. I personally don't want the expense of health insurance right now because my income to health ratio (not an actual number, just something I personally look at) is not conducive of health insurance right now.
However, if states wish to have a tax funded state health care system I don't see any problems with it. If I don't want to pay for it, I don't have to live there but I can still live in the US.
