You talk as if the illegal immigration number is a trivial amount. Do you not see that as an issue?
I think it's an issue, but it shouldn't be used as a smokescreen hiding the fact that what we have now isn't really working.

We've got to figure out how to get a better bang for our buck, and make healthcare accessible to every citizen.

(note the "citizen" part?)
I agree, it needs improvement but what federal program gives you hope that placing 320 million people on the federal dole will improve care? I just dont see any evidence of that

Again, there is zero evidence of this
That is just not true, you have the evidence that medicare is more efficient and cheaper within your own mess and you have the evidence of every other developed nation's healthcare system.

It wouldn't be an issue if certain classes of employers didn't have such a need for illegals just to make their profits. Recently here in Florida, our congress has been debating having employers use the national E-verify system to check on the eligibility of their employee candidates to work. Except the bill explicitly excludes employers in the agriculture businesses, farming in citrus and sugarcane for example. Florida still derives much of its GDP from an agricultural economy, despite tourism and shipping. So guess what industry in Florida hires the most illegals by far? Hint: Disneyworld sure ain't hiring them.

If it weren't for Florida agriculture, we wouldn't have the many illegals ("terk er jerbz!") we have. And our produce wouldn't be as cheap as it is. Beside citrus, Florida is big on tomatoes, melons, strawberries, and fern. And definitely dairy, we're by far the largest dairy state in the south US. And all those industries require illegals to work if those industries want to make a profit, since we can't get US citizens to work at them for the pay. And we don't want to pay more for produce and milk. So an argument could be made that any healthcare system we get also covers illegals, at least to some degree. Using illegals to make a case against a national healthcare system really is a smokescreen.

Why would you try and convince biker? He has his money on making all he can on the current Healthcare System. He doesn't want a system that actually takes care of the citizens..

Switching to a private healthcare system was a significant decision for me, primarily influenced by my desire for quicker access to specialists and more personalized care. The flexibility to choose my healthcare providers and the noticeable decrease in waiting times for appointments and treatments made a substantial difference in my overall health management. This shift also offered me a greater sense of control over my healthcare decisions, something I highly value.

However, it's essential to carefully consider the costs and the coverage options to ensure they align with your healthcare needs and financial situation. Navigating these choices can be complex, but the benefits of personalized care and efficient service have been worth it for me. For anyone contemplating this move, thoroughly research and weigh the pros and cons based on your health requirements.

If you're unsure about how to proceed or need more detailed advice, seek medical help. A healthcare professional can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation, helping you make the most informed decision.

How come other leftists don't like private systems, even when there is a public option for all? Do they make the similar argument that it takes away funds from the overall system like the school voucher opponents here claim?
