Something that bothers me about a national healthcare plan is the fact that most people get healthcare through their employer. Now, what happens when there is a national plan and we're all paying higher taxes to pay for it, and our employers drop health benefits? We pay more, and get less, while further lining the pocket of the management of the company.

Actually, less and less people are getting health insurance through their employers. Employers are decreasing coverage, forcing employees to pay portions of the premium, or simply dropping it all together. With a national health care plan, at least people would have something to fall back on.

The problems I have with this theory is that the Bush tax cuts are not yet permanent, so if they do not become permanent that money will be earmarked to other already in the works projects and then we will need to add more money to the till for Kerry's initiatives.

So...what you're saying is if Bush decides to repeal his own tax cuts, the health insurance would be more expensive? That's an interesting point.
