re: #960 opnion

It is hardly nitpicking to point out that a large part of the uninsured populatio cosists of the young who out of the health plan & illegals.
Subtract that number & the uninsured population is less daunting to deal with.
Your point about people being ruined due to lack of coverage & catqastrophic illness is well taken. So adress that population through reform , rather than trash the most effective health system in the world.

Go ahead and insure them; you can cover them by roughly doubling the current size of the Medicare program, the government’s current showpiece of egalitarian medical efficiency and quality.
