Where are these people 'dying in the street'? Today in IL, if a family makes $53k and hasn't health insurance, they have access to free health care. Governor Blogo thinks that's insufficient. He wants to add over 250k more people, above that $53k. I'm sorry, but from where I sit, the government, state or fed should not be doing this.
I would not say that people are dying in the street but some people, at least to a strong degree, have to choose between buying health insurance and making sure that their children have enough health care. The IL example that you gave seems to be high. How many people are in a family that gets $53k per year? I do not consider myself to be an extremist. Lines should be drawn; the question is where to draw the line. I have yet to hear a reply from Patriot, so I will ask you. DO you want government to remove ALL social welfare programs and safety nets yes or no?
