In order to prevent the cost of the few causing catastrophic rate hikes is precisely WHY this plan requires EVERYONE to buy into the system, so the burden is shared overall.
Also, your contention that healthcare MUST be provided through your employer, is no longer such a big deal under Obama's plan, where INDIVIDUALS are required to procure their own coverage, provided their employer does not, or if they prefer to go it alone.
The Obama plan actually makes your coverage "portable" as well, just so you are NOT so beholden to your employer.
And before we get into the government doing a great job regulating our food supply,I have just one word for you: Monsanto.

It fails check 1... Forcing people to do something against their will. Everything else is moot. Regardless of how good it sounds, regardless of what the cost is, it's still wrong. It could be the best healthcare system in the world but forcing everyone to participate against their will... is wrong. Period.
"requires EVERYONE to buy into the system, so the burden is shared overall." That's called socialism... I'm a Libertarian, there's a few conflicts there, hahah.
I also call that slavery... forcing someone to work for the benefit of someone else without compensation.
