Slavik, speaking as a delusional, liberal guilt monger...:-D, I'd have to say that I have no idea how much it will take to provide healthcare to the uninsured (although I'm pretty confident that neither do the Bill's opponents)... perhaps there's a sensible, self centered conservative out there, who would be kind enough to crunch the numbers for me, or are they too busy running around yelling: the sky is falling, the sky is falling (yet again). (H)One thing I do know - believing that it's perfectly acceptable that millions of this country's citizens don't have access to what many consider to be the best medical system in the world, is reprehensible.
