I agree with him 100%. The problem is it's already here so you have to deal with it in the best way possible. Medicare is at least an entitlement that is payed into. That's why I say get rid of Medicaid and expand Medicare to also act as an insurance company. Purely voluntary of course and leave the private insurance companies alone.

So take us back to the good old days. After all, the emergency room can't turn you away. And would the insurance be paid for by the individual, or will most of us still rely on the employer to provide insurance as a benefit?

Both. You can have it deducted out of your check pre-tax, your employer can pay it for you or a percentage of it. Self-employed people can pay their own then deduct it at the end of the year. You already have funds going to the under funded program, get rid of Medicaid and direct half those funds to Medicare the other half goes back int the general fund. You really want to make it affordable make the premium payments a hundred dollars a month per head of household and twenty-five per additional family member with twenty dollar co-pays. That would apply for people making zero to fifty thousand a year and ages zero to sixty-five. After sixty-five you just have the twenty dollar co-pay. You are still going to come up short on funds so to supplement the program further without having a huge impact you pass a national sales tax on certain items. Start with a three percent sales tax on alcohol, tobacco and firearms. Fifteen percent on R rated movies, ten on PG and five on G. Fifteen Percent on all pornogrpahy mediums. Three percent on domestic built POV's over fifty-thousand and five percent on foreign built vehicles. That should pretty well take care of it all. Then of course you have to take care of the corruption in the medical system itself but the point is there is a lot that can be done without directly affecting a mans paycheck. For those that can't afford the premium payments and co-pays that will be up to local and state governments. Not the federal government. The rest of the people can get their insurance through private companies. If this still needs to be expanded on then you do it in small increments. Let's say you want to pick up people that make fifty to seventy-five a year. You can do that but let's say you have to be a home owner to qualify in that pay bracket. Just an idea for you before you keep voting in democrats that want sixty percent of my income for their failed programs.
And no, illegal immigrants should not be allowed to participate. Don't through the adage that this is a country of immigrants be use that is a leftist lie. This country was built by renegade colonists.

White, Irish, and undocumented in America
New York (CNN)They're spared the glances. The "go back to your country" slurs facing so many undocumented migrants in the US. But they live in fear. They don't call the police when there's a break in. They think twice before they bring a sick child to the emergency room. Only, they're white - and they're Irish.
An estimated 50,000 undocumented Irish immigrants live in the United States -- they make up a small percentage of the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants living there, the majority of whom were born in Mexico.
"It is easier being illegal here when you're white," Shauna, an undocumented Irish immigrant, tells CNN. "It's not easy, of course, you have that paranoia but there isn't the racial element. It's a bit easier to stay under the radar."
