the decision making will come down to the old life boat problem. The current life boat is full. To take on more than can be carried will work for not very long, then the boat goes over or sinks.

One can keep talking about the what about the 40 million not covered all day long.
Are you ready to give up what you have to cover them?
Are you prepared to pay more to cover them?
Are you prepared to wait longer to get the care you need?

The above does not suggest in any way to not do something about today's health care deficiencies.

The answer is not just keep giving away more.

The answer is to fix what is wrong with the existing system. Fix or eliminate the KNOWN fraud.
Fix or eliminate the strangle hold of the pharmaceuticals have today.
Provide a different program for the illegals and let it stand alone as that.....health care for those who are not US citizens who are here illegally.

It is either that or as in the Titanic, the lifeboats just simply row away and leave the "uncovered".
