The government is doing it's duty then...if it is protecting citizens from insurance company abuse. I have no illusion that we will ever agree on this Puro. I do see your view's and don't disagree with some of them. It is just that we see the solution to the problem as being VERY different. That is not even to say that either would work or would not. Just different solutions to the same problem.
I agree, but the solution being suggested in a government run health care option violates right of the people. The solutions I mentioned do not. You say the companies are abusing people, but they are not commiting any illegal abuse or even violating their rights in any way, because nobody has the right to medical coverage. These people are not being denied treatment, they are just being denied coverage to pay for this treatment. This health insurance legislation will not save a single life because someone will receive treatment they wouldn't have otherwise received.

Oh, on a side note, you are right I have heard people say things like "I hope something happens to you so you have to see the bad side of our health care system." and you are correct, it is harsh, but I pretty much ignore people that say things like that. Those people clearly cannot control their emotions enough to have a rational logical conversation. There is no point in even taking people like that seriously because emotions controls their entire being and that is not healthy for their own mental health, or for me to concern myself with. (Not directed at you at all my friend, just a side note because I have heard people say those types of things just as you mentioned.)
If you look at our last several years of economy, torture of "enemy combatants", wars under lies and bad information, continuing a greater gap between rich and poor, continuing decline of our health care as compared to other nations, continued decline of respect globally, sinking value of the dollar....seems like remaking the nation a little bit isnt so bad of an idea.
Laker, just give it up bud. They will continue to defend the private insurers. When or if they ever get denied or dropped and join millions of others they will maybe understand.
