That fact alone has bankrupted several Southern California hospitals out of existance, owing to the flood of illegals who use emergency rooms as their primary source of health care. How is it, illegals who don't even speak our language are better informed than our general populace? I would like to see hard numbers of those who feel as though they have been left out in the cold on health care. I would venture a guess the socialists in our Democrat Party, have manufactured the statistics just as they have manufactured Graeme Frost's beleagured familys finances. All bogus!!

I can take care of myself and my health care expenses are zero. If someone doesn't take care of their own health, I have to pay for their health care under a universal (single payor) system. Having said that, I conclude that there is only ONE way that it could be done successfully. I've been reluctant to publish it before because I hate when my ideas get stolen. But since I like Michelle and her work on the immigration issue, and I doubt anyone will read this anyway. . . I'll post the main plan here (world premier)! Expand the VA to encompass the ENTIRE health care system. ie. You can fund the health care system through MILITARY funding. Train doctors through the MILITARY. Use free VA services to entice more enlistment into the military, and allow civilians to buy into the system. The key is the massiveness of such a program. The only way it will work is to tie it with an already massive institution - the military. This way the military industrial complex will be fed dollars (albeit for medical care equipment and facilities instead of bombs and bullets). AND we have enough doctors trained through the military, we have enough soldiers who want this program for free. This is a complex issue, but it could be worse than immigration if we let Congress start overhauling with a holy trio of Clinton, Pelosi, and Reid.

But i would like to precise a point about France and French health care system as I am as a French citizen directly concerned. It is true that our system is not perfect and that it has its problems. I would say that we have some problem to maintain its cost stable as the medical offer compared to the insurance is not socialized. In other words our system has been covering a very large kind of medical practice which are not all admitted as being of the prime necessity . I would like to say that thermal cure, massage cure, non necessary medical transport and any kind of offer were being covered without any control. this led to an explosion of the expenses as new practitioner had just to settle somewhere and develop his business. Today there are a lot of concern concerning the responsible management of our health system by sensitizing the patients and the practitioners for good habits. Also the "Securite Sociale" put efforts to stop covering known ineffective drugs and to promote the adoption of generic drugs which are less expensive. And all theses evolution are needed cause our population get older due to the age pyramid and it is important to work all together concerning the preservation of our fair system and make sure who can keep it viable. Despite this we still have one of the best quality medicine in the world cause people in France have no limitation to see a doctor whenever they need it and it allows to have a better preventive medicine as medical problem could be identified earlier. The health should not be a merchant service and therefore we should make sure private companies and interest do not take it over. Because when private interests enter the game it is only to make profits and it can become a system of waste like the one in United States of America.
