> And I enjoy my insurance company through work [...] This is something that always bothered me about the American healthcare system. Isn't it profoundly un-American to depend on your employer for such a personal matter? I know that work is highly valued in the US, but this is almost a slave-like relationship... If you are going to be so dependent on some orgnanization, wouldn't it be preferable to depend on a democratically elected one? I know that European-style healthcare smells too much of socialism to you guys, but doesn't your current system smell of feudalism?
