Reply #3: Not a radio personality, but I would drop my "cadillac" plan in a second

for a single-payer option. We have really good insurance negotiated by my kick-a$$ union every 4 years. That said, we still pay $350/month in expenses (premiums, co-pays, stuff not covered, and meds) for a healthy family of 4 (we have one son born with a birth defect that has been surgically corrected, but requires follow up with expensive specialists). Every week I get a call from frickin' Engenix, the subrogation firm representing my insurance company, trying to verify that all our son's follow-up stuff is really coverable. It makes me nuts.

If I could pay that $350/month into a plan that covers everyone in the US and gives us some relief from the hassles, I would do it gladly.
