'Obama is in the pocket of the insurance industry or why would he want to force everyone in the country to buy insurance?' True? - NO.
Quite the contrary. For the insurance companies, even being a woman could be a 'pre-existing' condition to deny coverage. Under the new law, 'every employee should subscribe to health insurance coverage (the premium is less than 2% of gross pay), increased subscription will increase the revenue of the insurance companies and 'exclusion or denial of coverage on the basis of 'pre-existing conditions' is 'kaput'. (NAA - not applicable anymore!!!). Why the republicans voted against? I do not know, pressure from the lobby? perhaps. As for your nephew and his 'immediate (I think in some countries it is called EMR (emergency medical response?) free medical (health) care...but as Marlon said, ultimately the cost is passed on the the rest of the subscribers by way of increased premium, so in real sense of the term 'free immediate' could be 'rob peter to pay paul?'

Mervyn - Thank you for your response. I just can't figure out what it has to do with what I wrote? The fact remains that EVERYONE in the States has access to immediate health care, regardless of ability to pay; my nephew is only one example, I know many people who have the benefit of the best medical care in the world and they pay ZERO for it. ZERO ZILCH NADA NIENTE RIEN. So what's the point of putting a bureacracy between people and their physicians if not to get rich from it? Obama is in the pocket of the insurance industry or why would he want to force everyone in the country to buy insurance? Simple, HE AND HIS FRIENDS ARE GOING TO GET RICHER. Viv
