I gave you the general principles of the plans as discussed by Obama and Congressional Democrats.
There is no plan, nor have there been discussion, of a UK or German or Japanese national health service type.
There is no plan, nor have their been discussions, of a plan funded primarily through general taxes instead of employer/employee premiums.
The framework has been more affordable and accessible through employer based plans, supplemented by government administered FEHB type.

Again you are uninformed. The plan generally proposed by Obama during the campaign are from an amalgamation of a number of plans from other countries around the world. You only need to educate yourself to understand the similarities. You say it is not going to be funded through a general tax, but yet you can't say where the money is going to come from? Obama has not proposed supplemental plans, he proposed an either employer based plan or government adminstered plans, not employer based. You have a lot of home work to do on this one.
