Makes no sense when E.R.s cannot refuse care to at least stabilize.
In all truth there are pros and cons to whatever system is implemented. This makes it even more important that the issues are discussed in an adult manner with respect for all views. We must accept that everyone’s goals can not be accomplished but we can achieve the goal of healthcare that meets the needs of everyone in society. Surly that is not too much to hope for? Or is hope a casualty of warring political factions?

The fact is that the liberal Dems tend to want a totally government controlled system as they have stated repeatedly including Obama.
The Repub/conservatives tend to want a market based system which allows for maximum freedom and high quality of care.
Because of these two competing ideas the argument has been going on for decades.
Keep in mind that the Dems control The Senate, House and Presidency and can probably push through what ever they want. But in my opinion they want the political cover of bipartisanship if at all possible.
The current bills should be scrapped and a new start should be made.
