What do you think illegals DO now when they're sick? They go to the ER, get treatment and move on. This won't end, they will be allowed to get service for their illness and again, We The People will pay for it. This bill doesn't stop anything from changing regarding illegals recieving medical coverage at the cost of tax payers. I'm not twisting this fact, just pointing out it is simply a "feel good" for public support. So what if the bill doesn't cover illegals, their still getting care, provided by the tax payers and this bill is written to ignore that fact.

Finally, I just spent some time listening to the speech again. I do like the provision for a Gov't non-profit insurance option (which will be cheaper then private insurance). Let's see, who here honestly thinks any insurance company can honestly compete with that when they are accountable to stock holders? The end result of this bill (in time) will be a single-national run insurance controlled by the Gov't. Now, there might be some private insurance for those with the cash, but it won't be affordable for the masses. He uses the comparison of Private vs Public colleges...yeah, great model to look at. My kids would be taking student loans out for decades to pay for private schools, end result, they go to a public school and pay for one decade.
