TB issue is just an ‘example.’ When a large portion of the country is uninsured, thus not getting enough preventive health care, we all end up paying MORE eventually.

About the law being ‘rammed’ through, it’s not my preference. I was just laying out what the Dems seems to be thinking. Come to think of it, ramming laws (aka invading other nation) seem to be a rather common thing in US politics.

No one on this thread replied to my question about South Korea. Again, what is South Korea doing right in providing near universal health care that USA can’t?

Ramming laws through is only common when one party controls everything. The American people gave them that blank check.

As for us vs SK, well, last I checked, SK doesn’t have the illegal immigrant issue we have. That’s MILLIONS of people. In Texas, 70% of births with uninsured parents are from illegal. Just one example. Also, have you looked at Korean people vs American in term of obesity? If obesity accounts for 25% of the increase in medical care, they probably spend at least 25% less than us, if everything stay the same. There’s really no other country that can give us an apple to apple comparison.
