I completely disagree with healthcare reform in it's current form. Some of it needs to stay, but much of it needs to go because I don't think we can afford it. Issues like your children being left on your plan probably have little to do with cost, since employers can always past that cost on to employees if need be. The simple fact that the more people in a plan, generally creates more premium stability may keep costs down for a total plan.
The pre-existing conditions portion needs to be revamped. You can't take out insurance when you find out your sick and expect premiums to stay affordable on any level. However, there needs to be something available for people who find themeselves in these circusmtances through no fault of their own. It's a tough problem to tackle.
I don't believe healthcare is a right, however, it should be administered in some reasonably fair manner. I have a feeling if doctors still bartered services for chicken eggs, costs would not be so high. I don't know any poor doctors, which is why medical schools can charge so much tuition and lawyers never sue poor people, so where do we start?
