sorry Johnny but you whack Det after making comments like this???
ummm...which govt. program/plan has ever gone out of business???
private companies can't arbitrarily "cut out" people, have you ever seen the state to state health insurance regulations???
only healthy 20-30 somethings??? there aren't that many of those if the private companies decide to "only" insure them and many don't bother with health insurance in that age group anyway, those that are insured are likely under company plans and as Det said, companies will be very quick to move the burden/responsibility to the "government option".....
the national plan will simply refuse you treatment...then where do you go?
