Everyone gets treatment in emergencies and the uninsured get treatment the rest of us pay for in higher premiums. So the basic point remains: does this form of socialized medicine make more sense than socialized medicine which brings everyone into the system, and tries to find ways to lower costs? Which socialism do you want? As usual, the Reoublicans want big insolvent government, and the Democrats want big solvent government. Given that that's the actual choice (if not the rhetoric), I'm more inclined to listen to the Dems. Warily, of course. But the Republicans are a joke.
This is pretty much where I am. I'm not terribly keen on big solvent government, but that's the only option. Health care is not a priority for Republicans, and I don't trust them to get anything done in the next ten years, at least. The choice is going to be a yes or no to what Obama,Pelosi, and Reid come up with, so I'd probably take it.
