("Lie!", etc.) The current reform plan doesn't concern them. We pay for them through distributed costs now and, if the bill is passed, we will continue to pay for them in the future. No change. Anything affecting that would result from different legislation.

How do you know if you can afford something if you don't know how much it costs? Illegal aliens will cost health care money and will not be paying into the system. A discussion of their numbers and the level of care they will receive is entirely related and relevant - unlike the amount of money that Bush wasted in Iraq.

No good argument can be made for rushing thru reforms that don't get the job done right.
