27. How does
your statement: "Most of the insurance coverage is employer provided."

Change this fact: The current system is insurance and there are hundreds of millions of Americans receiving health coverage, adequate care under it, including the members of Congress.


The amount the employee must pay is increasing while the salaries are stagnant or decreasing. Then there is 10% or higher unemployment. Those folks don't have coverage nor do their families. As employers drop coverage or offshore jobs more people are added to the uninsured. That number will grow no matter what the HCR bill did. Basically people still have out of pocket amounts that they can't pay and therefore will not get treatment for their illnesses.


What? Do you understand how the bill works? The exchanges?
