I (strongly) disagree.

Strongly.

That said, I know I am in a minority on this website, including the site owner. So I am always ready to say, I respect his view, and like this website (a lot).

But I respectfully say, I think it is very important, for us to carefully protect and defend, those who cannot get coverage in other ways.

We are the most affluent country in the world.

It is INEXCUSABLE that there are Americans, who are not covered.

That is just inexcusable, in my view.

Disagree with what? I never said that no provision should be made for these people. What I posted is what will happen when you try to put a federal program in place to accomplish it.

Take a look at the VA and you will see how it will be implemented. Such a program will consume billions and people will die waiting for health care. How do I know? Look at the VA. For that matter, look at every nation that has tried socialized medicine.

For it to have the smallest chance of working it has to be done at the state level.
