It drives me crazy to go to the Medicaid office and see almost all Mexican immigrants, not because I'm racist or anything, but because the majority of the ones in that office are not legal yet that are getting assistance. I agree with EcoRover on the healthcare issue though. A Medicaid type program for everyone would help those of us without the option for insurance and others with extremely high deductibles and/or copays.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421713950020402708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292921261406125884.post-46949152296177948372009-12-07T00:07:07.864-06:002009-12-07T00:07:07.864-06:00(1) As an environmentalist, I share your passion t...(1) As an environmentalist, I share your passion to limit the number of people in the U.S. At the rate we use resources, there are simply too many of us. The reality, though, is that immigration control is hopeless: unless we want to create a Big Brother government of 1984 proportions to track our personal lives, immigrants will always find a way to get to a better place. Always have, always will--whether the Jews who left Ur for the comfort & prosperity of Egypt, or the Turks that flooded into Germany in the 70s...<br /><br />(2) America sorely needs a government administered public option in healthcare. Overhead with Medicare is very low, efficiency is very high. It's a good public option. Similarly, our highway system works pretty well, and that's gov't run too. There is a reason that America's healthcare is at a crisis point: we are the last nation in the industrialized world without a public plan.EcoRoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294159049375690786noreply@blogger.com
