the fact that this is even necessary at all is yet another symptom of our failing employer-based delivery system.
but, given our absolute refusal to change this ridiculous and inefficient system, i vote yes. given the lousy job market, i'd raise the age even higher. after all, the insurance companies want people in this age group covered because they pay in more than they take out in care, and the cashier jobs that we are offering this entire generation don't offer health insurance.
This is what I find most disturbing about the bill. We did not fix the fundemental problems with our current system. Now after years of this contentious battle, no one will fix our problems with HC for another generation.
