I completely agree with you! I'm doing the same topic and reasearing health care i'm finding so much stuff! I can't beleive they haven't passed something like that! It would solve so much and to think they have something like that just lying around. About 47 million people in this country don't have health care! can you believe that? If they passed that, those people would have nothing to worry about.
