1. Reminds me of some of the free clinics that visit
rural Jamaica. We have free health care, but it's a joke because they don't give people all the medication needed. Still no hospital can refuse to admit patients without health insurance.

Most telling:
Governor Kaine points to the fact that two thirds of the 46 million uninsured in the United States have jobs but can't afford health insurance. "This is a matter of political will," he says. "Other nations have a lower GDP than we do, and they've made a political decision that their people are going to have health coverage, but we keep deciding not to."
