There's been some talk of allowing illegals to buy into a public option plan to defer the cost of their emergency room visits where they pay nothing! I'd rather see: Have them sign up and then open an investigation as to WHY they are here in the first place!

Ernie,
I'm not really thinking of reform, more like complete elimination. I would phase it out over a few years (3-5) to get the layabouts time to get an education, and out from in front of the game shows.
The folks who are incapable or working are a differnt story, but they are not on welfare anyway.
