American taxpayers already pick up the tab for MEDICAID recipients. Hospital ER’s do not turn away the poor and there are many clinics that absorb them too. In many respects we already have universal healthcare. Newt is NOT forcing anyone to purchase health insurance.
I know you must still be in mourning over Cain..but the fact is the polls are leaning towards Newt, Romney and Paul...who do you support now?
You are conflating universal healthcare with universal coverage.
Your comment about Medicaid has nothing to do with our discussion of Medicare.
The excerpt I posted to you directly refuted your argument. You extolled Newt’s Medicare plan and, embarrassingly, it’s by his own admission simply a “modest tweak” to the present catastrophe and it certainly is NOT, again by his own admission, as you said, all full of love for the Ryan plan.
