with my health care. I doubt government employees will be exempt,government employees are the guinea pigs in their test bed when the Hill wants to experiment. While I was able to keep my health insurance into retirement, my payments are no longer subsidized by the government. Stil, I get the benefit of being part of a group plan and the lower costs (although the increase in premiums has been double digits for the past few years). This is essentially the same plan that Congress has.

I have a good friend in Canada, and am all too familiar with the horrors of their system.

I really don't see why they couldn't just allow families that don't have employer provided or subsidized health care to join into group plans, perhaps unrelated to work. No, this wouldn't be a "universal" solution for everyone -- Government run health care isn't a solution.
