It says that some people are moronic, I guarantee you flying to Bangkok and getting an operation costs more than paying for it out of pocket. No matter how much illegal immigrants drive up health costs, that remains true
A disastrous hodegpodge of plain falsehoods and unrelated political platitudes. I wouldn't expect anything less, you half-wit.
Interesting that you oppose government interference in health care - unless it's tort reform. Then you love government interference.
Frivolous lawsuits don't drive up the cost of medical procedures nearly as much as you seem to think they do, although I am willing to grant that they would certainly play a (vastly overstated) role. Assuming that tort reform would be such an influential factor in improving the availability of health care is naive. Can you come up with any other ideas? Restricting lawsuits can't be the only thing you've got up your sleeve.
Tancredo's plan is essentially worthless as well. You seem to neglect the fact that there is a large percentage of people who are unemployed - and do you really expect part-time workers, or people who work in the lowest end jobs (fast food, etc.) to be covered by small businesses buying insurance in "packs"? Some businesses still may not be able to afford insurance, either, even if the prices are lower, simply because the cost is so high to begin with.
Finally, you neglect the fact that insurance does not necessarily translate into adequate care: life-saving procedures are routinely denied if they aren't covered.
