Harry Reid says:"I believe that a country of our size, the only superpower left in the world — it’s not right that we have 50-60 million people … with no health insurance,” he said. “We have to have a program where health insurance shouldn’t go to people who are rich, people who are upper-middle class. I believe the middle class and people below the middle class deserve to go to the hospital when they’re sick.”

HARRY REID.. READ THE FACTS!!!
THERE ARE NOT 50 to 60 million AMERICANS that want insurance but can't get it!
GIVEN: The Census bureau says 10 million of the 50 million "uninsured' are not citizens…
Subtract 10 million from 50 million leaves 40 million… NOT 50 million!
Source: Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2009 - Income & Wealth - Newsroom - U.S. Census Bureau
GIVEN: 14 million are eligible for Medicaid..but they are counted as "uninsured"….
but Reid totally ignored this FACT and subtracting 14 million from 40 million leaves 26 million…

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association contracted with the Actuarial Research Corporation (ARC) to provide a detailed analysis of the uninsured identified by the Census Bureau, which found:
- Of the 44.7 million non-elderly uninsured individuals identified in the 2004 Census Current Population Survey (CPS) data,
nearly one-third — almost 14 million — were reachable through existing government
health programs such as Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) under current rules.
REACHABLE meaning all these people had to do was enroll! NO money. NO risks! Just enroll!
14 million already eligible only need to register with MEDICAID!
So far we've reduced the 50 million by 10 million NON-Citizens, 14 million that simply had to enroll as they were covered by Medicaid!
That leaves 26 million!
The last time I checked as an American I had the right to NOT to buy health insurance!
18 million people declaring that right! They CAN buy insurance they just don't NEED it!
They are under age 34.
They make over $50,000 a year decided it is cheaper just to pay out of pocket the average of
$1,000 per year for their health needs then take up their employers' health plan.
And they pay their health services bills because: Their credit rating depends on their paying their bills--- they pay their own way!

That leaves 8 million out of 310 million! That means 98.5% of Americans either have coverage or don't need it! NOT 50 million!
When will people get the message!
10 million of the "uninsured" ARE NOT citizens!
14 MILLION already covered SIMPLY NEED TO REGISTER with Medicaid!
18 MILLION DON"T WANT TO BUY insurance!
That leaves 8 million NOT 50 million!
NOW you tax happy assholes in Congress why not tax the lawyers 10% of their $200 billion a year?
You taxed tanning salons cause they cause cancer, why not lawyers cause they cause $850 billion in defensive medicine!
$20 billion a year would provide health insurance for the truly 8 million that need it!
NO massive Overhaul! NO changing ANYones insurance.
Just register the uninsured when they go to the hospital emergency room. Send the claims to the Uninsured Health Insurance Co. ©!
That SIMPLE!
