What is the difference between paying for insurance from insurance companies, which exist to make a profit, and paying the government for "insurance", where there is no profit for anyone but service providers? What service is it that the health insurance industry delivers that justifies their massive profits? It's all profit, no product.

It's obvious that I am not shocked and dismayed by the use of the word "socialism". The highway system, the mail, public schools all administered by the Government. Or maybe you think they should all be privatized too?

Or if not believe that, ignore it.
But it seems ignoring and redirecting are the main parts of this game you play.

I'm not playing a game, I'm trying to have a discussion. I believe illegal immigration is a problem, but it is a problem caused by greedy employers, an indifferent US government and a corrupt Mexican government, not the immigrants themselves. To some how imply that the problems with are healthcare system are caused by, or really even affected by, illegal immigrants taking their sick kids to the emergency room is ludicrous.
