isnt it wonderful that undocumented (illegal) workers get free health care!!!!!!!!!!

Trust me - illegal workers are the least of the USA's problems. it may be free healthcare, go visit a "free clinic" sometimes. Find out how long it takes to get an appointment. And if you were illegal & afraid of being caught by the government, why would you go to government doctors unless you were REALLY sick?

It is past the point of worrying about private or public medical insurance. That issue died decades ago. They knew the demographics. The "they" is the government and the private companies. But they for the "now". Always handing off the baton to some future corrupted legislator. You legislators have a serious "notch gap" problem with health insurance. This is of your own making. You spent so much time paying everybody off from your two parties, you forgot the people who actually pay the freight and are honest. Do you actually believe that 15 % increases in medical costs year after year is not going to affect people? FREE MEDICAL FOR ALL IS THE ANSWER. You did this. Now complete it.

Actually, one full time job 40 hours and Sat/Sun 16 hours. Left all my evenings free. Some of you will find every excuse possible to have the government take care of you. Stop being so lazy and support yourself.

Breathing is a necessity. How long now before you leeches clinging onto the Nanny State's teats will ask Washington for respirators ? You health is yours to take care of and no one else's. Nobody is expected to live perpetually on minimum wage flipping burgers or changing tires at the Mobile station. If that has been your niche, I have no pity for you.

Tell me, Frankly, what your method is for preventing appendicitis.

Are you going to take advantage of Medicare, or are you going to opt out? That's a socialized program.

You are out of touch with reality. If you look at the cost of health insurance, not many middle-class people can afford it. I'm searching right now, and it looks like I'll pay $400+ a month for single coverage with mediocre covereage.
Look at the facts: call AARP, Blue Cross, United Healthcare, etc and see what the FACTS are.

You got that right and if your disabled like me, no job you cant pay the 400.00 anyway youre screwed.
