poor people are already covered
old people are already covered
uninsured people that don’t pay their bills (yeah we cover them too)

So what’s so horrible about a universal health care plan? We in essense already have that…. just with a really bad paperwork problem that raises the costs even more and makes fraud easier.
Who said anything about me? My family has coverage from my husbands job luckily. And we are doing just fine without any help from the government or running up our credit.
The problem with the government run hospitals now is that the vast majority of citizens never see them and unless they make it to the news the politicians don’t pay any attention to them either.
