I don't want to be rude or anything but you're kind of late getting here. This stuff has been discussed here for a long time, you might just want to read the earlier posts. >> So they all have preventative care? Not everyone gets perfect health care, but the vast majority get what they need. Many people, some on this very thread, have plenty of insurance yet refuse preventative care such as an annual physical because they don't want it. There are preventative procedures my doctor recommends and I say, "No, thanks". That's my prerogative. I think anyone who wants insurance ought to be able to buy it affordably. But I don't believe it ought to be given to them, and it sure as hell should NOT be a legal requirement. And the legislation currently before congress will not provide anything that is remotely helpful on this front. Health care costs are too high, and the legislation does not help in that regard either (and actually, will make a bad problem worse). So, frankly, we're nowhere on this. Hopefully, this legislation will fail and we can start all over with a more moderate effort that actually addresses the problems in a way that will lead to a solution.
