Oh yeah, definitely. The security net is great. And I get that for it to work, it needs to be paid for.
I think that the downwards movement is more based in the population aging though.
And the reason I hate it, is literally because there is no opt out at all. Hell, I'd use the public option if there were an opt out because it works well enough for me.
That is a system I want to live in. Since the locust capitalists took over (11th January 1987!) it is going downhill though.
Of course I can afford one of best health care, for me, but I want a social system, not an asocial one.
