Okay, Sen. Kennedy and Sen. Clinton, (she originally wanted this entire fiasco of health care, remember?) if you want Universal Health Care than it must be Universal. Not special for people in Congress or all government workers but the entire country gets the same deal. You can leave out Medicaid but don't put us little people out on line with illegal immigrants or waiting to get a bypass if some secretary decides it is okay. Right now, doctors are not accepting Medicare and the rich can go to them and pay their high fees. Just as in England, their Healthcare system did the same. The rich have their own doctors and separate hospitals and they can go to anyone they choose, You have the seniors in Medicare, you are now going for the poor "children" and then the middle..so is the plan and smart people that are paying attention know it. We, Americans also know how to march and vote so don't try and pass Universal Health Care unless Congress gives up their special care and joins the rest of us. That is the meaning of Universal or National, so take your pick, but, we have done without in order to pay for our Medicare premiums and AARP in order not to go into an HMO where you get the losers for doctors and can die before your primary doctor will allow you to go elsewhere. I do not think the reporters want to stand on line in back of illegals for their "UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE ' that they are pushing. They should remember that they have to go for it as well.If you think that the illegals had a large march..just try and pass this on us and you will see who can get more people marching and we will vote for the garbage collector but not for those that pass this bill.
