So your thinking with government health care my chances are as good as Gates to get a liver? Or perhaps an illegals should be as good as mine? It appears to me our national health care cost problem is 3/4 driven by elective human behavior. Nationalizing health care does nothing to correct this issue. Offering preventative care to people who are only looking for pills and dont follows doctors advice is not going to save any money. I think it is BS that somehow offering preventive care to all is somehow or another going to lower the total national cost. Most people now dont change their behavior even facing pain, debilitating disease or severe financial distress. Look around at all the fat SOB's in this country smoking cigarettes and eating whatever. Do they think they are going to avoid probabilities of their poor behavior?
