Health Care Reform

Any health care reform/universal health care initiative needs to address illegal immigrant access to our health care system...this group of people(those whom should not be in this country for whatever reasons) cost the american taxpayer and system tens of billions, with a capital B, each year...this same group of people more times than not access the most expensive area of our health care system - emergency care services...often at 5x or higher the cost of regular medical visits to our family or individual doctors...we must demand accountability and accurancy if we the taxpayers are to fully embrace health care reform...

Equally important is the need to include vision, hearing and dental coverage...why these have been treated as excessive areas of coverage is beyond me...these are primary areas of health on the human body...we should and must include some baseline care for vision, hearing and dental...

And lastly, any health care reform must include our congressional leaders excepting the same coverage! If they are apart of the same system we will get the kind of health care we deserve!!!
