Anyone that says it's just about covering the uninsured...

...is either misrepresenting the reality or doesn't have a clue about what the real goal is. Just do the math, and using their numbers:

$1 trillion (the CBO estimated cost of HR3200 WITHOUT counting the $239 BILLION it adds to the deficit) divided among the 47 million (grossly exaggerated) uninsured equals $21,276.60.

My stars! Let's just buy them an insurance policy and a car already!

Please do not cloud the issue with facts and statements grounded in reality. We need to stay on course with the partisan hyperbole and rhetoric.

If we don't do something NOW we will all be destroyed because of a lack of doing something. :((

I would rather see us issue medical debit cards, in varying amounts based upon family composition and need, to eligible individuals and move on to the immigration issue than spend one more day debating this one.

It's like arguing with a 5 year old that INSISTS she needs a unicorn. And RIGHT NOW!
