re: "I've got mine but I'd like everybody else to have theirs, too"
What about the savings to people's employers as soon as the burden is lifted from them. Shouldn't that free them to either produce goods cheaper or improve employee's paychecks? Won't we all see an immediate increase in our salaries if the part we're paying for health care goes away?
So if our taxes get bumped up some to pay for the health care and we end up getting higher paychecks or cheaper goods, isn't that a wash or even better?
I don't understand the reasoning other than possibly the short term backlash people always have when there's change.
