There are plenty of people who are struggling financially without having another mouth to feed. Force them to add that mouth due to a mistake, and they are going to have to cut more corners somewhere. I can ensure that regular checkups will be one of the first things to go, and most medical care will be an emergency because they wait too long. That makes it a LOT more expensive.
However, one of the drawbacks to free care is that people go to the hospital for a hangnail, and that will be expensive as well.
We need a better solution than government run health care. Obama has the wrong plan and the GOP has nothing.

Steve, you need to do some research. Re: your first paragraph.
Health care for poor parents and poor babies is FREE. Has been for many years. IT IS THE LAW. Any hospital in the US, private or public owned. And this applies to ANY PERSON in the US. legal, illegal, or citizen. LOOK IT UP. They CANNOT refuse care for any reason, including money. ALL poor people know this. The local Emergency Room IS their family Doctor. So ZERO babies are going to die from lack of health care.
2nd paragraph.
Yes there are people that are struggling financially. I won't even ask why you think THEY are not the ones MOST responsible for that. Instead I'll ask that if it is OK to preform an invasive operation on a woman to KILL a baby. Why is not OK to preform an invasive operation on her and tie her tubes? The ligation is a less serious procedure than the abortion. And CURES that problem and a host of others.
They do NOT wait at all! ER's are loaded with poor with sniffles, cuts, bruises, aches, pains, same as any Doc's office. There are and have been for decades, County Health services that do routine check ups and preventive care for the poor That's part of why I state the FACT that the liberals are lying all the time. They KNOW that coverage is there and has been there, but they want the general public to think there is a crisis, when NO such crisis exists.
Your 3rd. para.
That has been the routine for well more than a quarter of a century, maybe half a century.
Your 4th. para.
All our health care system needs is cost control. Access is at 100% and has been. And our US health care IS the very finest in the world.
WHO says its not. WHO is funded by member GOVERNMENTS. Many of which OWN their countries health care delivery system. How often do you think the WHO bites the hand that feeds them? hint, the answer is 0.
WHO ACCEPTS WHATEVER statistics a country reports to them. [along with the funding check!] Have every country report their health stats the EXACT same way that our NON-Government AMA does and we would be far and away the EASY winner. Just one phase of the WHO's report should explain all. They HEAVILY weigh their rankings on "FAIRNESS" of health care. Well ours isn't the fairest, the rich do get better care. AND ALWAYS WILL, everywhere, but in other, socialized medicine, countries it "officially" doesn't happen.
