Nationalized health care takes the WHOLE populace and leverages the risk, psread across a very WIDE base..

Private lives should be PRIVATE...

This whole issue is a PRIVACY issue, folks.. Do you want your employer telling you what to do or NOT do in your private life..Do you want your employer knowing what meds you take, what you weigh..

Why is it anyone's business but your own??

This whole issue coming up at this particular time is no accident.. It's just another ploy to set people "off" against "others" who do not measure up to arbitrary standards that you have no control of.

carry this down the line a bit.. What happens when employers have the ability to cherry pick even more than they do now?

What happens when even MORE 40 & 50-somethings lose coverage or get laid off as they enter the 'chronic illness' phase of their lives? Without nationalized care, their families enter POVERTY..their kids don't get college..they stop buying stuff.. If they are POOR enough, THEY will get medical care..but TOTALLY on YOUR dime..
