That will be great if we can buy the same plan that they have for the same as they pay out of pocket with all the bells and whistles like dental and vision. Plus they can't charge more for high risks. With the insurance companies in the loop, I'll believe it when I see it.
I suspect that when we know all the details that they will determine it is too expensive like Mass. and working people who do not have employer furnished insurance will be unable to afford it. Heck, today those of us who have to buy our own can't even claim our health insurance costs as a deduction. The poor already get subsidized.
These polititians get a lot of money from the health care, pharma and insurance industries so they will make out OK no matter what they come up with. I believe they are talking a good game now (with few details) in order to score points in order to get elected. Once in office reality will set in.
