Look I like Republicans want all Americans to have health insurance. In fact I want everyone to have a home and job as well. I'm just a realist and know this is impossible unless some Americans are 'forced' to pay for others. Stop listening to Huffingon. It was Hillarycare in the 90's and she is no republican.

A person right now can go into an ER room with a broken leg, have it set, get a few pain pills, and he's gone. Yes we pick it up in inflated bills. Wth Obamacare that same person now with an insurance card paid for by you and I will go in, maybe have a second opinion, possibly a scan, be prescribed therapy, more pain pills and a second x-ray to make sure the bone has healed. 2K v. maybe 8K. And that's a minor scenario. Also should you or I have a broken bone at the same time we'll have the chance to wait in line behind this newly insured person. Sorry many are able to see this is not a way to right the ship instead it's akin to pulling the drain plug.
