You've got to be kidding! Or trolling. Most people get their
insurance through their employer. Unless that employer gets
complaints from a lot of employees, he's not going to change. If an
employee tries to get other insurance on his own, he'll soon find out
he can't afford it.

Try living in the real world.

Exactly, and anyone with the proverbial pre-existing condition is screwed if
they look for private insurance, it's either impossible to find or so
expensive as to be out of reach. Employers are feeling the pinch too, it's
one more reason to move production overseas where they aren't faced with
crippling health coverage bills. More and more citizens with less and less
coverage, but some folks figure we don't need reform--astonishing, isn't it.
