Most Americans oppose health law but like provisions

56. No I certainly understand your position

I didn't assume you would pay less, I assumed I would pay more, or did I miss the memo where mine would be free of charge? I pay FICA, MEDICARE and SS out of my check now. Your public option comparison to Medicare just allows my employer to withold more and send it to the Federal govt.....

Again I will say that I think people that are actually paying for insurance albeit a high price are hoping that their amounts will drop considerably under a public option but you have no way to know for sure what your tax will be ...

What I do know is that a public option based on a Medicare scenario means that I will be forced to pay for something that I don't pay for now and that means less money in my pocket...

Philosophically I think we do agree but when it comes to the how we pay for it that we don't agree on sorry but IMO if the government controlled and ran the healthcare system in total than when I got sick I could go get care, same as you and the government would determine the cost of that care based on what I or you could afford at that moment in our lives, don't you think its asinine to pay for something that you may never ever use?
