but we have to get everyone in the system for it to work

That sounds like Social Security and it's going broke.

Here's the deal - everyone is already in the health care system to one degree or another. Millions of those that don't pay premiums can't afford to pay premiums so they will be on the dole from Obama in the billions annually. Millions don't want to pay premiums - they receive care as needed - either pay for it or it's written off.

The system simply needs tweaking - I say tweak the system, get it working in the best possible way, cost effectively and only after that is accomplished consider adding uninsured citizens, but only if funds are available to do so.

I'm thinking that there will be unintended results if any Obama program is adopted - just like the stimulus package - trillions will be added to the programs, taxes will be through the roof, doctors will exit, care will go south.
