And Obama care is godo for everybody? Not me. I will lose my current
health insurance which is pretty darned good. My premiums are $28 a
month, and I get more than that back in my health account each year.
So, basically, it is fully covered by my employer.

With Obama care, it only works if people pay into the system since it
has to pay for all the people who can't afford the system. So, it
would not work if only the current people in need buy in. They need
people who already have health insurance to pay into the system too,
so they have to make sure that some of us lose our current plan, thus
forcing us to join the new Obama plan. Last I heard, the basic plan
will cost $1000 a year. That's $1000 more than I currently pay, and a
$1000 I do not currently have available. And it sounds like it may not
be as good of a plan as I currently have.

So, with Obama care, I get to pay more, get less, and my personal
economy will get worse. Not something I am looking forward to.

I understand the need to make health insurance affordable to those who
don't have something right now. But I would prefer they do it without
messing up the plan I have now.
