"HC is free for anyone: just show up in the emergency room and it is FREE; FEDERAL LAW:

That is what illegals do, for a cold, etc."

I thought one of the complaints about a public health insurance plan is that their will be long waits for care. Crowded emergency rooms, aging populations, and the growing number of people without insurance have caused the waits in ERs to increase in the past 10 or so years. So for me without insurance, I must wait a long time anyway

I do not see how everyone can be immediately writing off Obama's plan as providing poor healthcare. I do not qualify for medicaid. I am a healthy 21 year old with a bankrupt family. My sibling in college and I are both uninsured. What are we to do?...

"Do we want government telling us what type and quality of health care we can have?"

If only I could afford a choice. For me, any kind of health insurance is better than none, and I am sure that 46 million other Americans might feel the same way.

I am glad Cal Thomas can get healthcare. He will continue to get that healthcare, but some of us need a public option.
