>> Options include expanding Medicare and Medicaid

You guys never quite respond to the fact that some 15 million of the 43 million "uninsured" are qualified for Medicaid benefits yet won't bother to visit their local office and pick up the free coverage. Another 10 million can afford insurance and just choose not to have it.

So, you expand Medicaid to cover more people. Are THEY going to take the time to go get the insurance card?

The argument is just bogus.

For once it would be nice to have a legitimate debate on the issues rather than a flood of misinformation which is then parroted on every leftwinger nutjob blog before being picked up by the liberal media.
