Not if you're uninsured... or underinsured.

Untrue.

And you know that other countries get better results on many, many metrics.

You can create irrelevant metrics where this is true, but meaningful metrics, not really. Another RW lie.

The CBO say the Senate bill will leave 17M uninsured. Out of 30M cited by Obama.

If the whole reason for this power grab is really to insure the uninsured, why aren't they proposing to do it?

We already have medicare and medicaid. How about providing adding a catastrophic insurance component to medicaid for:

1) those who aren't covered by a current policy (employer, private, medicaid, medicare, VA, etc)

and

2a) have been turned down by three insurance companies

or

2b) have been quoted a price for catastophic care that is more than 10% of their previous years taxable income.
