Even if it's a stupid comparison (which I'm not conceding, because if a company defers coverage it's to make the sure the employee is actually going to stay, and there's no question of that here), it's still not the hypocrisy that TPM, the OP, and other posters imply it is.
I think it's a stupid comparison but I also think that calling him a hypocrite here is stretching it. There's a difference between being against government run insurance for all and the government offering insurance to employees.
Do you really think that pointing out how inefficient the government is by pointing out that they have extremely similar policies that most private companies have was a smart move? I don't understand how that isn't an extremely dumb comparison. Hell, my company knows I'm not going anywhere but after my fiance and I get married I have to wait a month to add her to my plan and take her off of hers.
