Health care for low-income newborns is already free and our local health department has numerous unfilled appointments. Just because it is free, does not mean people, low income or now, will use it.

Best example is dental plans - most cover routine cleanings and a large percentage of people don't take advantage and following basic prevention strategies.

I just gave you a personal example of how the newspaper reports are absolute rubbish yet you want to still believe the media...no wonder many Americans think a health system that could cover every American is impossible...the media has told you so.
Because UK's NHS, the BBC, the Telegraph, and ALL those other people are lying and only you, one biased person, know the truth. R-i-i-i-ght.

Sorry i don't fall for the media B/S.
I know exactly how the NHS works because i use it. My family use it and we have many many years of experience..using it.
If you want to make your judgements using biased media reporting then the word Gullable comes to mind.
Go to the UK and try the NHS...THEN and only THEN can YOU make or have a informed opinion.

Go to your county Social Services and fill out a form for a Medicaide spend down. Once your income is evaluated they will give you a deductible and refer you to a Doctor that will see you

Everytime.

Plenty of programs already in place, the safety net is already there. No need for more freakin govt.

I also have been treated by the VA. Did a surgery for me many years ago. They also provided my mother with many of the drugs she need while she was dying all for

Free

Happy Veterans day

We live in a compassionate caring and chairitable country. You people have no clue and I cant figure out how a person gets so removed from reality. You people must all be insured and never had to seek out health care with empty pockets. I have and I was treated very well by the programs that are already in place.
