An if, as I hope, we aren't willing to do that, what we can do is increase the efficiency of subsidizing the poor. Subsidizing their movement into the normal healthcare system instead of just the emergency rooms is a good start.

Again. The poor are not dying in the streets. That is a bleeding heart straw man argument.
My only point was, as you championed the healthcare of the "poor", is that they do not now seek preventive care, and would still not do so even if it was "free".
These are but small portions of the bill.
How about the role of the IRS in this new process. Latest estimates are that the IRS is going to have to hire thousands of people just to monitor this process, so now we have created more bigger and bloated government at great cost and for what return?
