Every one else has had their say so here's my 2 cents. "Health Care is a 'right'".

No it's not. But we'd sure like to make it so if at all possible, wouldn't we?? Sure.

But to work "fairly" it needs to be FULLY FUNDED (no "rationing" generally speaking) and of course, you need an adequate doctor/patient ratio for it to work properly. Understand the older you get, the more you can reasonably expect
to require. This reality must be accepted and provided for.

Since we are undergoing a major recession, we certainly can't afford it at this point in time (bad "timing") and we haven't the doctor/patient ratio required in any event..........to the extent approx 45% of practicing doctors polled say they will leave the field if Obamacare becomes law as they will not be able to give their patients the time they deserve while being able to make a living. 

We already have a system in place wherein we know the good and the bad, so no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater, IMHO, 

Reform our present system accordingly inclusive of tort reform and a better quality of gov't financial oversight to eliminate fraud & abuse while providing a government "net" for those 12,000 or so LEGAL inhabitants who want, but really cannot afford. 

No services provided to illegals & dependents, born here (by those illegally here to begin with) or otherwise except for life-threatening emergency care followed by deportation. We'll save your life on our dime but otherwise, home you go.
