Health Care Debate - Apollo Beach, FL

can't afford health care

Obama's plan fails to address the root cause of the problem:
-- tort reform is not addressed; Drs schedule billions in unnecessary tests to avoid lawsuits
-- illegal aliens; hospitals are currently for5ced to treat illegals and those without health care in the ER -- where costs are the absolute highest; serving to force prices higher for all the rest of us; illegals and thos without health care should be directed to the walk in clinics - where I take my kids over the ER when needed --ther are far cheaper and faster
-- government policies force drug companies to wait years longer than the rest of the world in bringing new medicines to market; these restrictions should be revised as they add fortunes in extra costs which are in turn passed on to the consumer
-- If Obama's plan is so good, why is congress exempt from it?

It does not address the root cause of the problem: tort reform is needed, caring for uninsured (illegals) should not be mandatory at the ER where it is most expensive they should be directed to walk in clinics for only urgent care services.
