While I certainly agree that we should all have health care, there is at least one inaccuracy in your pet story...
"NON-CITIZENS Some 9.7 million of the uninsured are not citizens; of those, more than six million may be illegal immigrants, according to informed estimates. None of the pending bills would cover them."
While that is true, the real truth is that there is nothing to stop illegals from getting what they get now for free, so in essence they will be covered.
Odd that it takes Obama & Crew some 1000+ pages to accomplish what the article espouses.
