This is Group Health Insurance plan that I provide for my employees and myself. My company pays for this. The individual rate is around $330.00. My company pays 100%.

What makes you think the Republicans control the Health Industry? I don't know who controls it, but I bet it is people from both parties.
My biggest concern is I don't want the Government involved with my health. Next thing you know they will be making life and death decision about me or you and some people have a limited view about the sacredness of life.-

The govt will never be as involved in your health care as a for-profit health conglomerate, insurance company, or HMO such as Group Health. That is the fact.

For-profit insurance: profit based on taking more of your money, giving you less healthcare, and reimbursing your health provider as much as possible.
Medicare/medicaid: no profit motive or personal incentives for employees to deny you the medical care you paid for and deserve. In fact, monetary incentive for Uncle Sam to improve preventative care if anything.
Medicare is also a several fold improvement over any insurance company in terms of efficiency. A fraction of the overhead means the more $ goes to your medical care. As a small business owner, it would be your right of course to add on other benefits, but lets face it, most small businesses have a very hard time competing with larger corporations for talent. Universal care would help level the playing field for small biz.
