Subject: RE: BS: Nationalized Healthcare, good? bad?
Oh crap, Greg! That's not the point! The point is that the SYSTEM is overloaded...immigrants are merely one aspect in some areas! The issue is **UNINSURED**, no matter what the source & causes.

We need more & better doctors and a better way to control costs, and immigrants ARE 'one' of those costs. We also need fewer people of ALL types, but you can guess what Republican Shibboleths even hinting at that would stir up.

None of these issues are gonna be even addressed, much less solved, if we don't confront them openly and discuss them in detail.

If you just sweep these issues under the rug and pretend they aren't there, you just end up with a bumpy rug that everyone trips over.
