> Admittedly, that's because I am of the 80 percent of people who get decent health coverage via my employer Have you ever thought about what would happen if you want to take 12 months off work so you can spend time with your kids, learn a language or just some personal time? Have you looked into how quickly your insurance would drop you if you developed a serious illness, or suffered a major auto-crash with extremely expensive and life-altering medical conditions? Tying ones health to their employment is barbaric, and as someone that has never suffered such a fate, I consider it the next step up from slavery. i.e. Slaves - work or you don't eat/live. US heath insurance - work or you get bankruptingly-expensive healthcare. (Rest of the developed world) - work or not, healthcare is for everyone.
