    it's not too late, we could still pass HR 676, Medicare for All.

    Doesn't matter if it's the best idea humanity ever came up with, it won't go anywhere in its current form.

    Now, were it to be renamed the Anti-Terrorism Immigration Marriage For the Children to Protect America Act, we might actually be able to move the ball forward...

  6. we need health care, not health insurance! by Presto+Vivace · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: IT Contractors, How's Your Health Insurance?

    If you work contracts exclusively, what do you think is the best plan for insurance? Any preferences?" Canada, failing that, France. Seriously, we need to pass HR676, it would be the greatest economic stimulus ever.

  7. Better way for them to save $100 Million + by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Circuit City and the American Dream
    Circuit City is spending way more than is necessary for health insurance premiums for its employees. Doing some rough calculations, they could save the same amount of money (probably more) if they could reduce the amount spent on premiums by 20%. (Current estimates put the amount of health care dollars 'wasted' on unnecessary administrative expenses required by the current broken private insurance system at 30%.) Sadly, this is a major problem for all US businesses, and only getting worse. Until we reform the US health care system systemically, this will continue to impact US businesses of all sizes. I've seen it time and time again... Unable to do anything about the rising cost of health care, businesses either shift the cost directly to employees or get rid of some of their higher-cost employees altogether. Currently, the only model that can do this is a single-payer national model like that proposed by H.R. 676 and endorsed by many groups around the country.
