You are a line item with the Government now… You are their source of Revenue… The Government does not look at the Bottom Line, it's running in the Red now… Government Run Medicare and Medicaid operate in the Red now…. You will be contributing to a slush fund that will be used for health insurance as well as other things like it does now… You will be obligated under legislation to pay your tax that will rise with no guarantee that your specific illnesses will be covered… The Government Run Health Insurance will undercut private insurances… Private Businesses do have to watch their Bottom Line to stay in Business… Government doesn't have to and is capable of bankrupting our nation as it is doing now… Once Government Run Health Insurance is compulsory with laws that will not be sympathetic to your personal situation you will have to supplement with what you have left over with private insurance causing your personal Bottom Line to be strained even more than it is now…. At best the Government Run Health Insurance will cover basic care that you will be paying a premium for through your tax dollars…. I know people from Canada, Italy, Australia, Hungary. They understand how your proposal works and they adamantly say NO to your solution…. They understand you think you're getting something that is different than what this will be…. That's why they are here… Bottom Lines are a good thing…. Family Budgets operate on them…. Small businesses run on them… Even Fortune 500 Companies run on Bottom Lines…. Many of them offer wondrful products world wide for all levels of consumers…. Yes there are those at the top who benefit excessively financially, but the world wide population benefits from affordable products that would otherwise be very expensive and unavailable for consumption in some regions… There's more than the side of evil to Bottom Lines…

Corporate motives are always the bottom line, by definition. If you're good with being a balance sheet item, then more power to ya. Personally, I'll opt for the power base where I have at least a small something to say about it.

Your limited view of the past and history is taking you down a self destructive path for this wonderful nation of ours. The argument against government run business started when the constitution was written. Perhaps your potential employer had insight to avoid your rehtoric. Perhaps theres' something bigger here than the tobacco industry pulling a fast one on weak smokers… Perhaps people here have put their hope in something much bigger and more successful that Big Government. Those who have lived under Big Government understand why we shouldn't go down the road you're proposing. Perhaps you should look at other options available to you and your family than breaking the bank of our unique country. Perhaps there's another, better way . . . Perhaps you should try a path to help you find it.

Nice but perhaps your recipe was a little too vitriolic for potential employers' tastebuds? Personally, i thought it was great and am left wondering which company turned it down??!!
