"because 80% of Americans said they liked their insurance coverage, whether it was provided by their employer or by the govt."

You continue to play games. 80% of those who HAVE coverage. What about those who DON"T have coverage? You are like Romney who made a campaign pledge that those who HAVE unsurance won't lose it when they change jobs. 

In 1986. a Democratic House and a Republican Senate passed and Ronald Reagan signed, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, or EMTALA. 

EMTALA, one of the great unfunded mandates in American history, required any hospital participating in Medicare—that is to say, nearly all of them—to provide emergency care to anyone who needs it, including illegal immigrants, regardless of ability to pay. Indeed, EMTALA can be accurately said to have established universal health care in America—with nary a whimper from conservative activists.

Universal Healthcare signed into law by your hero Ronald Reagan. And now you wonder why illegals receive free treament in hospital emergeny rooms.
