A wise man (not me) once said "A tax is a tax is a tax". If you are paying part of your wage to your employer for health insurance, what is the difference than paying that money to the government in tax, and having a government run healthcare system? In my mind, there is no difference, other than taking out the middle-man (read private insurers)

So you want a tax break? How about this: "A tax-cut is a tax-cut is a tax-cut..."
Would you feel better knowing that your tax dollars went to provide ScottKuma's son with top of the line medical care?
Sorry to offend anyone with that statement, but I truly believe that it helps my side of the argument. The reality: Someone has to pay, or people are put between rocks and hard places.
