So, who has personal (familial) reasons to want REAL health care reform rather than just a band-aid?

Poll question: So, who has personal (familial) reasons to want REAL health care reform rather than just a band-aid?

It's been suggested to me that to be pushing for single payer or a STRONG public option (as a distant second) is an act of selfishness. I disagree. I'll go on record as saying I have decent coverage (double coverage, even) and I do not need this for myself or my wife, though I cannot insure my children as well as I'd like because of insurance company rules. (I'm not the custodial parent and my own insurance isn't really adequate for their needs--my wife's would be, but they don't live with us).

I mention that in the interests of full disclosure. My advocacy for health care reform has more to do with what I remember going through as a young adult than any concern I have now.

Oh, on edit, and here's my take.
