This is an excellent analysis, THANK YOU! It has terrific supporting evidence about why most of the money going into the plan will simply be wasted and wind up insuring few people who don't already get free care.
And then THIS gem... yikes!

"Strangely, the one group that Kerry completely ignores is the most discriminated against under the current system and would most likely respond to a tax subsidy: middle-income families who earn more than 300 percent of the poverty level. Indeed, once the Kerry plan is implemented, middle-class families who do not get insurance through an employer are the ones most likely to be uninsured!"
"It is widely thought that the uninsured are almost always low income families. Over the past decade, however, virtually all the growth in the uninsured has been among families who make more than $50,000 a year. By contrast, the uninsured rate among families who earn less than $25,000 actually declined." 29
"In general, families who earn $50,000 a year or more get up to a 50 percent tax subsidy if they obtain insurance through an employer. Yet they get virtually no tax relief if they purchase insurance on their own. Other than provide an opportunity to buy into the system of managed competition (with government subsidized catastrophic insurance), Kerry’s health care plan does little to assist this group - even though they are the ones most likely to bear a disproportionate tax burden to fund it."
