I am simply shocked. WAPO uncovers a story of historic proportions.

Uninsured Get Less Health Care Than Insured

Now that is some serious reporting for you. Damn they are good - such deep insight into serious economic and health issues.
:sarcasm: (JIC)

BTW - sorry this post is not about the convention.

5. It might be obvious

But one of the talking points against universal healthcare is that if you give insurance to everyone, the unwashed masses are going to use too much of it. As if that is a bad thing?

3. What? You've got to be kidding me! (As a medic I had to ahem FIGHT

go get some of my patients into local ERs after we transported them from SOUTH of the border, where they would have been given the care they needed)

People may laught about that, and the care is at times not that spectacular, but hey... you will be taken to the hospital and the ER will MOSTLY not say no

I had to fight the General Hospital a couple times... but not as often as oh Scripps.
