If you're wealthy you can leave the country and get care, but that's about it.

In the U.S. you don't have to be wealthy to supply your own healthcare. The correlation here is to see the U.K.'s National Health Service and think about how it would be under ObamaCare. Like in the U.K. only the U.S. wealthy would be able to circumvent the bureaucracy. Where they would go, I don't know.
Just as an aside and I feel stupid but my post was being a bit sarcastic, without really understanding what I was replying to...said only as a non drinker and non smoker.

Sorry said the dumb guy No more to say...it should be clear from my posts how I feel about this entire travesty
