Having access to an emergency room as an avenue of last resort is not the same as having health coverage.

You're right, we do. Emergency room care is significantly more expensive than a visit to a doctor's office, and we all pay for that. And people with no access to a doctor will often wait until they are really sick before heading to an emergency room; sicker patients equals more expensive care. It just makes sense to make affordable healthcare accessible to everyone.
(Re: Bristol Palin) It is malicious to imply that she is the mother of Trig Palin based on hearsay. Someone pointed out, it is biologically impossible. Trig Palin was born April 18. The very earliest his mother could have gotten pregnant again is May 1, which would make her due Jan. 25. And that's a stretch biologically.
Sarah just signed a lucrative book deal. I don't think they're hurting for money.

I too am confident she is Trig's mother. I think the rumors got started because of rumors that Bristol was pregnant. . . which turned out to be true. That debacle reminded me of the old game of "telephone" or "gossip" that we used to play as kids. By the time a story got to the end of a line of several people, it had changed greatly.
