The above has facilitated in the closing of ER's around the Country because so many use it as "urgent care" and never pay their bills. They use ER's for sniffles, rashes, and other.
Just think when obambi/reid/pelosi Triad pass "immigration reform" and allow the illegals to access the system. You think that won't happen? Then you are naive.
From what I've heard, illegals can access the new "public option" according to the House bill just passed.
“Sorry to rain on the future parade, but the Senate can’t be trusted, including Joe Lieberman. The entire Congress is now about “helping” the poor pitiful lower-class that has no “health-care”, which is a misnomer because they can get any help they need in any ER close to them.”
I hate to agree with this but I think you’re right. I do think that Lieberman will oppose a public option, but the Senate will just pass some watered down bill without a named public option, then they’ll get rolled by Pelosi and Co. in conference, then it will come back to the Senate and only require a 51 vote majority-allowing “moderate” Dems up for re-election to vote against the final bill and say they opposed it.
I pray to God I’m wrong about this. Maybe, just maybe, the “progressive” Dems will just find the lack of a public option totally unacceptable and the bill will be killed among the in-fighting with the Senate Dems. I think that’s really the best scenario we can hope for at this point.
