As much as I hate to see universal health care, I'm tired of my family's health and wellbeing being hitched to my husband's employer.

Why should employers pay for employee health care?? It is another factor that makes American workers too expensive to hire. Government regulations make hiring American workers too difficult, especially for small businesses. They need to structure the tax code such that hiring more US workers results in tax breaks for the company, instead of punishing them for hiring more workers.

Maybe we shouldn't even have health care ---the employees with wages dropping down below $10 an hour can't buy their own policies, the employers can't afford to buy them insurance, the government certainly can't afford it either. Going to a doctor or hospital, getting lab tests or an X-ray simply costs too much now.
