you might hate him and immediatly disregard his opinions, but don't think that everyone else feels the same way.

Most people aren't ultra-conservative, free-market pigs who worship the insurance industry like all these people on sdn

Seriously though, kitten, is it possible for you to post anything that is intelligent or supported? And what is your bizarre fixation with "free-market pigs" ? Did an economist kill your mother? Please stow the bigotted, empty-idealist sophistry and rationally share your opinion. I promise it will be better-respected AND better-considered that way...

LOL and what is the difference between being taxed less but having to pay insurance premiums, copays, etc. and being taxed more but having not to paying premiums, copays, etc. There really isn't a fundamental difference in the end. Here in America instead of calling it being taxed more, we call it "paying for insurance coverage". Paying for insurance coverage really is just like being taxed.

Maybe the tax credit is partial and based on your coverage, leaving you with an incentive to "shop" for the best plan so you spend less additional money (from your own pocket) to pay for your plan. Maybe the real bargain hunters actually make money.

Just a guess, but I'd like to hear as well...

Most people who like MM and believe everything he says have their head stuck so far up their ass that they are incapable of thinking for themselves and the ever important thinking critically.
