Yes, what you were saying was true that most people have health insurance. But it also means that 47,000,000 Americans do not. And you said it; most of them are the poor and the children of the poor. Implying that all poor people are illegal immigrants (and therefore do not deserve health care) or that even "WE" shouldn't bear the burden for our country's poor just doesn't sit right with me. Just because some little kid was born in another country, we should let him die from... whatever? What happened to compassion in this country?
Why do you think our country is so unpopular now?

Right now, in the USA half of all the bankruptcy cases are caused by illness and medical bills. that's right, people are poor because they couldn't pay their health care costs.

And while it is true that anyone can walk into most hospitals in the USA and get instant care, that's only good for a few days. People with chronic conditions like Hip, either have to come up with a bunch of dough to afford the prescriptions they need, or they go home and wait until they are sick enough again to go back to the emergency room.

Our health care system stinks here. We pay more (or those of us who are more fortunate, our employers pay more) for health insurance than any other country in the world. It's clearly broken when senior citizens pay huge portions of their income on medicine and medical insurance.
Too many people in our rich country have to choose between paying for prescriptions or for anything else.

Don't get me started on immigration, it doesn't belong here. But suffice to say, immigrants legal and illegal pay taxes. They pay taxes on the cars they buy, the houses they buy, and all the products they buy. Those that are lucky enough to get jobs "OVER" the table are paying plenty of taxes too.

The people who aren't paying taxes are the super rich. Those are the sliders in this country, not the poor.
