It's only subsidized by the Government like my plan because they are essentially government employees.
All this "death panel" stuff is misinformation from the right wing.
I'm a government employee... we're really concerned with this because essentially it could INCREASE my taxes and my premiums to lower your premiums so that the system will attain a balance.

I'm sorry to bust your bubble but it is NOT misinformation. As I stated on some thread here, I heard a Senator that was a judge before he took the senate seat say that the way it is written right now, it could in fact be interpreted as a death panel that it needs to be clairified. So it is NOT about misinformation.
I'm amazed at the number of people, and I must admit they have ALL been young people have fallen for Obama's proproganda on this health care issue.
I agree our health care needs fixing, but not the way the government wants to fix it. The last thing we need is a government run health care. They can't even balance a budget and we want to turn something as important as our health care to a bunch of bureaucrats? NOT ME!
I hope America will wake up to the real agenda here.
