Instead of just another response to a comment , this is to Olive O and all concerned. Read her comments in the previous health care post.
Olive, the bill that will be passed if anywhere near its present forms in either house is only 90% BS, more or less another 10%. In the end when everything is in effect 5 years from now, 6% of t he population will be uninsured and we will find that overall care is limited. Black is black and white is white no matter what names you may use and that applies to the provisions of the bill. The true cost for less than advertised is being to become astronomical.
If the politicos were honest they would insist on a public option pool covering everyone at a set premium not risk or age determined. But then the majority of the public will object because their premiums would rise.
My fear is that in order to control costs there will be a sharp limit in benefits either by delay or by quota. Providers will be treated as indentured servants and the good ones will drop out of the system. Ultimately a two tier system, private and public funded will be in place with a marked degree in the level of care.
One of the cost factors forgotten in the spin is a mandatory large cut in Medicare reimbursement to physicians.Democrats got AMA support by a new separate bill that cancels that cut.
And the humane question of the illegals is ignored. Of course how can you give someone who doesn't exist the basic rights of humanity? The fact is no one wants to admit that they are human.

The illegals are human and deserve the best care that their home country can provide. Advocates for illegal aliens can slice and dice the numbers anyway they want, but as a whole group they are a drain on our resources. More to the point the demographics of illegal immigrants puts disproportional burdens on various states and local communities. Plainfield is clearly at a disadvantage.
