Just one question. If the healthcare bill is so wonderful, how come so many unions are asking for exemptions for their members, and other corporations getting exemptions from it as well?

[klaatuwolf]

One other question, also if it's so wonderful, why did congress exempt themselves from it?

[siege]

Because they have better insurance already.

What exemption?

I'm ok with people who have different views.

I'm NOT ok with dishonesty.

You have government health care, right?

[siege]

Cost, pure and simple, answering the question of "who pays" when the individual doesn't. Single-payer wouldn't have this question; everyone together would pay for the baseline, and private insurance would be for stuff above and beyond that, as with Medicare.
