And the rich will still have the better health care because they can afford the various extras offered by companies.

You know it's not just about the rich, right? I'm not rich. Most people you meet will never be rich, or even close. Aside from the fact that castigating someone for their success is asinine, at what point did we as a society decide that it was ok to steal great giant chunks of the fruit of a man's labor? Most people with comfortable lives are not rich, but through their hard work and perseverance, even luck to an extent, they have made comfortable lives for themselves, not been handed them. What is the motivation for hard work if you take success & comfort from the equation with burdensome taxation?

I appreciate that position, but it's very emotionally based. Measured on any logical standard it has to be flawed, else the actual rights of others must be infringed upon. There have to be losers.
