   One of our local companies, a good one, has already announced that it   
   expects medical costs to increase.  Prepaid care has this feature.   
      
   It would be much simpler to rewrite the laws to limit subsidized   
   care to "freeloaders".   But people who want real insurance, and   
   are willing to pay out of pocket he amounts covered by the sham   
   called insurance now which would not be under major medical are   
   the ones who will be gypped.   
      
   There is not going to be adequate healthcare, unless you are   
   willing to let the government set up death panels.  Who is to   
   say what treatments I can get?  Government bureaucrats can be   
   trusted to either act as if they can save the universe, or else   
   go strictly by the book.
