Dave, you say, "There are 1800 insurance comapnies out there, yet the gov't wants to add a gov't sponsored plan to the mix to increase competition."

Even if it's put into place, we're talking another 3-4 years before it's available. High unemployment NOW is not an excuse to do something that will affect the next 100 years
