This goes back to the issue about how much health care REALLY costs. If doctors and hospitols wern't so greedy we could all afford health care. One of the problems (and we all know there are others) is when we get sick we are not only pay for ourselves, we're paying for the 5 people behind us that couldn't pay or for goverment assistance. I agree that on some level its needed but I get so sick of someone if front of me in the line at the store talking on a cell phone, wearing a $200 pair of Nike shoes, paying for beer... and then pulling out food stamps for the rest. This is the same person that gets sick and who pays for it? WE DO! The whole system needs reformed and it has to start somewhere. Taking away a casino workers health insurance is a step back, not forward. I support them $100.
