I would figure that the average wage earner COULD NOT afford to pay what I pay and opt not to be covered.

That is your firms policy, my company does not follow that unless ALL variables were the same between employees. Again YOU DON'T REBUILD A HOUSE BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE COLOR OF THE WALLS. Oddly, you keep inadvertently defending the position of those that have insurance, not addressing the public option non-sense. Maybe we agree more on this than I thought 
I'm all for the concept of "reform" of some type however completely against the notion that somehow health care access is a civil right and that it is "my" job as a citizen to somehow pay to ensure this. Even more so, I don't believe it is the responsibility of "the rich" to make up the difference for those who are not considered rich. Love to see how many of the 'uninsured' have flat-screen TVs....
