You seem to be a believer in keeping insurance companies involved in healthcare. I would say you're a Republican that's too liberal socially to ever be happy with their candidates. You're close to being an Orange County Republican, but they are still too conservative socially for you. You usually seem to go with the Republican candidate, because you love them guns so dearly.

actually, i've probably voted for more democrats over the years than republicans, since you have to consider state and local levels as well. i'm not quite sure what you mean about any kind of economic justice whatsoever-that could gover a myriad of topics. as for healthcare, i have no idea what system would work best. it's funny regarding healthcare in that when i hire people and mention the benefits package, they're gung ho about it. then when it's time at 90 days to fill out all the paperwork, the insurance is invariably turned down. why? it's not required, and they pay part of it. so, those who have it pay more (the more in the pool, the cheaper per person) and those who don't end up wishing they'd gotten it when they had the chance. because if you get it at 90 days, no waiting period, no preexisting conditions apply. i had a girl just toss the whole packet, which also includes short term disability. a few months later she found out she was pregnant, that part of the coverage would have paid her while she was off work once she had to take off, and until she came back.
i don't know why the employers ever became the ones to pick up most of the coverage. not sure how the system ever got to the point it has-but when you see the fraud, waste and abuse in our current govt handled programs, just how well would universal healthcare work?
