It would impact the resource pool for those in need (the 12 folks I noted in my first post) as well as many others.

I could not sleep at night if I did that,..., unless there was an absolute need. One day that may come, for for now it is no the case.

I wonder how many would take the assistance even though they are sound financially?

I agree with you Vic and I have a sense of pride in being able to take care of myself and my family for now. Like you said the day may come but for now I will gladly fork out the $12,000 a year for my health insurance premium. Being able to look at myself in the mirror and sleep at night are priceless.

What I am really confused about is why people keep bringing up Medicare? Isn't Medicaid the one for disabled people?
