    # 1: how is it going to work when illegals who don`t pay into the system will have access to it? it will bankrupt the country within 2 years!...theres no way it could work if anyone who has access to it isn`t paying into the pool.[B)]

    Why do Canadians come over here for health care? Because they don't want to wait a month or more to see a doctor. That's what socialized medicine does and you won't see the doctor of your choice.

    tell him to do a test run on illegals and politicans first, then ask him if he is willing to give up his health care, if so lets see a bill put forth in the next few weeks.

    Phone call is over and they never got to me (out of time!) I was going to attempt to hold his feet to the fire on the illegal issue as he dodged it earlier. He said "there is no federal legislation that allows people here illegally to use federal programs" then went on to the next question.

    THere was some good peeps here from L-Ville beating him up though. One or two suck ups but most giving him lots of grief about this Universal Healthcare.

    He did say that he is not going to vote for a "single source" system that is managed by the fed. He supports a co-op with Fed plan (like the ones the fed employees have) and private healthcare plans.

    It does sound like the small business is going to be screwed. If you opt out of paying for private insurance for 100% of your employees and families then you will pay into the federal plan, along with the higher taxes that you will be paying anyway to help fund care for the entire populace. If you choose to pay for your employees care, you will still lose your business tax deduction for the amount you pay out for employee benefits.

    Not going to be good either way for small business.

    Ask him or her if they are required to use National Health care like we would.
    Send the old folks home to die and infants just turn the switch off we can't afford them.

    Kennedy and Byrd should be the first to use it and see how they like no service they are to old

    Take a hard look at the Medicare/Medicaid system. It's forst year, was SUPPOSED to be a rather minor budget item. Now threatens to be one of the largest line items in the US budget.

    If you wnt some idea of what to expect of govt healthcare, talk to ANYONE that has ever served in the US military, and went on sick call.
