		<description>Why do the Dems want to enrich insruance companies?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m not in favor of the &#039;public option&#039; but the public v private is only a small part of the problem with this plan. If there is a preexisting condition issue, address it alone.  Medicaid covers the poor, to the extent it doesn&#039;t, it is because doctors won&#039;t accept it, which won&#039;t get better if we are all essentially on it.  Children are covered if their parents make up to $80,000.  Seniors paid for medicare all their working lives and planned on it and now are told it will be cut, though insolvent, to pay for 2/3 of costs to cover 16 million more people including those with expensive preexisting conditions.  Government wants to force us to buy plans we don&#039;t want to choose and will make us lose the type of plans we do choose when our current plan expires, or our employer loses it, because no new enrollment in grandfathered plans will be allowed.  And where does government get the right to do that?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Making the plan &#039;co op&#039; v. &#039;public&#039; might make the insurance companies happy but doesn&#039;t even begin to address the problems the people have with it. That is the problem you get when special interests have seats at the table in creating the plan, and unhappy constituents are demonized as &#039;astroturf&#039; when they try to stop having something ENTIRELY unwanted shoved down their throats.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Isn&#039;t our government supposed to be working for US?</description>
