Then what is the solution? Assuming that it is true that the uninsured are causing a steep escalation in the costs that those of us with insurance are paying, do you just propose that nothing should be done and that we should just continue with the status quo until none of us can afford health care?

I would never say that Obamacare is the best solution to the problem. But, all things being equal, what do you think the solution is? It's easy for you and I to criticize, because we have health insurance. But what about those that don't, can't afford it, and don't see a Dr. until they are really sick and show up at the ER (where they have to be treated)? Have you ever been to an ER at night? I have, and I can tell you, it isn't pretty. And what about those that end up hospitalized, and then can't pay the bill? Then what? You and I pay for it.

It's a problem. And although I may not think Obamacare is a great solution, at least someone tried to do something. I can remember when people used to think health care was one of the biggest problems confronting the country -- right along with illegal immigration.
