>> That's a fact. Nothing to discuss. It is a slightly different topic, but there is the issue of what it would have cost. Some people believe that you give health care benefits to everyone who doesn't have it, regardless of the cost of delivering that. In reality, we cannot come close to affording the 20 million who were added, and certainly couldn't have afforded more. We could also discuss the fact that our health care system cannot really handle any more Medicaids than it is today in many states because of Medicaid programs being so strained financially. So, even if we could pay for the welfare benefits, there may not be providers available to see those patients. But it is true, those are secondary issues behind the fact that we could have dumped them into a system that in many instances just has no place for them.
