See, you can lead them to water but you can’t make them think. Sorry about the pun.
Now, we’ve got comments about illegals who had nothing to do with this proposal and ‘forcing’ Mexicans to buy insurance.
You can spell it out but some people aren’t going to read it or understand the issue. Oh well, hopefully just a few.
While I appreciate your comments on the other thread, that condescending attitude isn't going to win any converts.
If the definition of thinking is just reading an article and blindly following it, well, no, you're not going to make anyone think. I don't apologize for that. But the worry here is that unintended consequences are important--saying "Obamacare didn't exist then" doesn't end the discussion, as much as some would like that.
I'm not sorry for asking questions even after the Perry fans, who I respect, have posted an article they seem to think should shut the rest of us up.
The article stated that 26% of Texas citizens don’t have insurance. Are you saying that illegals aren’t included in that mix?
Hopefully, because this is nothing. I finally found the study itself and added it to this thread so if anyone is desperately curious they can read it for themselves.
I cannot overlook Santorum trying to make this an issue in the debate saying even Obama wouldn't propose bi-national healthcare. It was crass and childish.
If Perry were a quick wit, like Reagan, he might've found a way use to this against Obama and Romney both because Texas studied a healthcare option, saw it that wouldn't work and moved on. After the quip, he could've explained in a few words what it was about and put it to bed.
