Free I agree Obama Care sounds like an open ended trap that will cost more and give less coverage per the CBO. The Solution is the Swiss Model everyone has to have coverage by law and the poor recieve a voucher for Medical Care at Clinics using a strict HMO model, medical care might be human right but there is no right for abuse providing viagra or hair transplants. The current system pays for taxi service for the poor provided many times by family and friend's at rates higher than paid to the Doctor they are seeing is criminal.

I noted the following in that article " Today, many states require these "standard benefits packages" -- and they're a major cause for the rise in health-care costs. Every group, from chiropractors to alcohol-abuse counselors, do lobbying to get included. Connecticut, for example, requires reimbursement for hair transplants, hearing aids, and in vitro fertilization.

The Senate bill would require coverage for prescription drugs, mental-health benefits, and substance-abuse services. It also requires policies to insure "children" until the age of 26. That's just the starting list. The bills would allow the Department of Health and Human Services to add to the list of required benefits, based on recommendations from a committee of experts. Americans, therefore, wouldn't even know what's in their plans and what they're required to pay for, directly or indirectly, until after the bills become law. "

We have to remember nearly all Democrats and many Republicans want coverage for the 10,000,000 or 11 million illegal aliens in the USA that some think might be 30,000,000 to 40 million in reality. The Media uses race and pretends that all illegal aliens are all Hispanic, when the facts are police arrest illegal aliens from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
