...she and hubby the hairboy are gonna wait in line at County for ward
space? Yeah, and Paris Hilton just can't wait get in on the free
processed cheese food product, too...

whether she does or doesn't utilize a Universal Plan, doesn't mean it isn't
a VERY good idea. I mean, I don't see where the two equate.

Sure it does. What's the point of talking about, much less providing, a
health care plan (really, for such folks, an option) to people who have
no intention of using it? If the US is going to have some _additional_
form(s) of "universal" health care, it would seem that it ought to begin
with those who, first, are entitled to it (and IMO, that includes
citizens first, legal non-citizens second, and non-legal aliens, um,
well, not at all...) and actually _need_ it, and then, worry about
covering those who don't need it and won't use it.

It's not like we
aren't paying, and in a very inefficient manner, for the healthcare of a lot
of others right now, right?

Right, but that's a 'hole 'nuther, um, OBROFF - esp. for T-Bone, kettle
of fish...
