The way I look at it, America should be ashame of not offering health care to everyone at an affordable rate. For those conservatives who cry foul, well folks, guess what is foul, people using the system of the emergency as a form of medical treatment because they have no health insurance are just as costly if not more than the current proposal. Either way the middle class is still paying the bill, the new way is transparent nothing hidden, the old way can't pay go to the emergency room which by law can not turn you away, so we are still paying. Also cut into the profits of the of the insurance groups and doctors who find in necessary to live lavish life-styles at the expense of the struggling family. To report outrageous quarterly profits and to say we are hurting financially is hypocritical to say the lease. To perform operations which are known not to have benefit than someone's pocket is just as bad selling drugs which don't do any is astonishing. Either way someone is going to pay which is probably the middle class.
