Moose, I think it's going to happen eventually. It's pretty much inevitable now.
What most moro....errrr...liberals fail to realize is that most of the "uninsured" in America CHOSE to be uninsured. The single biggest group by FAR that doesn't have health insurance is 21-30 year olds, NOT seniors (hell, EVERYONE over 62 can get health care) or children (ditto for those under 17...). There is already legislation in place to provide care for those in these age brackets who seek it. Adults between 21-30 who can get health care but chose not to purchase it comprise the largest segment of the uninsured by FAR.
