nine out of 10 people under 65 are covered by their employers Horsehockey. No 1099 worker is covered under an employer policy, nor are many small business employees. We do have problems in the health insurance area, big problems, but Obama's proposals will of course not fix them.

“...most of which cover all employees and charge everyone the same rate.”

Tha same rate??

Way to go WSJ! To lies in the same sentence! The cost of health insurance in NY is DOUBLE what it is across the river in NJ!

Let’s start health care reform, not by overhauling the system and creating a gov’t monster, but by doing two things EVERYBODY agrees will bring down costs dramatically:

1) Eliminate in-state-only health-care purchasing regulations
2) Enacting meaningful tort reform

Can’t republicans and democrats agree on THAT?
