Reply #52: You're assuming an ideological outrage that I don't think exists

Most people haven't seen Sicko, most people don't think about this in terms of "punishing the blood suckers". They think about this in terms of "how can I get coverage for as little as possible"? And if the insurance companies offer them a lower premium than the public option for being young and healthy, most of them will stick with the insurance companies, other than a few like yourself who are concerned about social welfare more than the bottom line.
