Just turn on the Fox News Channel. They are fair and balanced so you are getting both sides to the debate evenly without all of the bullshit. Check around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Glenn Beck should be covering the issue and knows exactly what is going on with the bill.

Glenn Beck? He raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

That is only $1000/yr, so I guess it's not that much money.
BUT... my company is paying the other 85% of it.
So that means we are paying over $6000/year for my insurance.

Anyway... what will socialized healthcare do to people like me?
Decrease our rates because some of it will be picked up by the government?
That's my overly simplistic thought.

You should also consider what happens when you quit your job and have to get individual health insurance or work for a small company.

I work for a hospital and have awesome medical and dental coverage for $12/month ($20 copays, $50 ER, $3 generics rx). Anything, even option 3, is going to raise my rates, however I also know that I won't be working here for more than another year or 2 so how it impacts my current health insurance is only a minor issue for me.
