Bill, I disagree with your premise that MOST hospitals will treat uninsured people. That is just not true. My dear friend Marty Schuman went to Tampa General with cancer and he was turned away. He went to a doctor friend's clinic in Beckley west virginny and died in comfort there.

Moreover, the coverage offered is decreasing. I pay 570 dollars a month for insurance for myself and my son. A recent problem with his foot cost 25 for the copay at the doctor's office, 20 for the medication, another 75 at the emergency room at the health plan, and when we were all done, he had the operation on his foot at his school because no one here would do what was necessary. Thank god his school has doctor's on staff. I thought his toe was going to fall off from the "treatment" we got on my health plan.

susu and her hubby ar just divise plants. they aren;'t real people anyway. come on, they just show up one day on the forum and suddenly know everyone and their politics. I think they are another of lepus' rex's made up characters, frankly. He can log in a t any computer at his school. There are hundreds. We'll be plagued with these made up people until that school finally fires his ass.
