About Obama’s speech.
One other note: On this whole question of whether illegal immigrants will be included in the plan, which caused the vile Congressman from South Carolina to shout “You lie” when the President said they wouldn’t be covered. Why shouldn’t they be? After all, when an illegal immigrant cuts his hand while chopping cabbage and goes to the emergency room, the rest of us pay for it. Isn’t the point to expand the risk pool as much as possible, to lure the insurance companies into concessions and lower prices?
I kn0w it ‘s not going to happen. Congress will never vote to subsidize the health care of those who arrived here illegally. But, given the fact that we’re already subsidizing them through the back door, it does make sense, doesn’t it?
