Did anyone else turn green about Kerry's health care plan?(AFL/CIO) [View All]

Must admit I am totally unfamiliar with the details of Kerry's "health care plan."

BUT, I know what I saw last night. Kerry proposes to give a person a voucher for $1000 to help pay for health care.Since the cost for an individual is more than $6000 per year in most states, what good would $1000($83.33 per month)do? And he didn't mention any cost-reduction or plan to control premiums.

So, I thought, this will help temporarily until the INSURANCE COMPANIES RAISE THEIR RATES on those WHO ALREADY HAVE INSURANCE.(Anyone else think that the insurance companies will not take advantage of getting an extra $1000 per person in their greedy gotta-make-a-profit mindset?)

How many NEW people will be able to afford insurance with this plan?

AND I TURNED GREEN!!

How many of the other candidates are just going to be subsidizing the insurance companies, with no requirements on the companies to control premiums?
