I can talk all day against selfishness and and the absurdity of nickle and diming over American peoples' health.  But you can shut me up quick by acknowledging that is the glaring and basically, absolutely wrong backlight to the whole healthcare debate.

And, no, I don't demand "big business" pay for single payer healthcare.  I merely demand that big business pay a BIGGER share of taxes, which would undoubtedly better support a larger and broader share of Federal governmental operations that it does now (perhaps some may end up going toward a universal healthcare system).

But the reality is that the expenses related to healthcare insurance paid by all those paying for it now (as well as those who refuse) would also factor into the pot of financial resources that go to pay for a universal system.  WOULD the dollars I pay now toward health insurance be a fair taxed amount to support universal healthcare?  Wouldn't like it, because I don't like how much ins. costs.  But would make sense.
