> The reason we don't have healthcare is because our government spends way too much on our military. Cut our defense budget a bit and you can easily handle healthcare.

Except, in any socialistic form of healthcare, the prices skyrocket or are legislatively capped. This has the effect of either jacking up our taxes or stagnating medical research. Both of those are sucky alternatives. I agree we spend too much on military, but why not just give me my money back, altogether, and let me buy my own health insurance? How about a system where competition drives prices down so I don't even need health insurance? By making it part of a government program, you're now introducing inefficiency into the system. Effectively, you're adding a middle man, removing all competition, and I'm additionally paying extra for at no benefit to myself. Why would I want that?

>Blaming illegal immigrants is hypocritical. Show me someone who can trace every ancestor back to a legal immigrant and I'll show you a native american.

Did you actually read my post or just whip out this templated response? Our 'ancestors' weren't guaranteed medical care in hospitals, and the fees weren't nearly what they are today. They didn't have the system of credit/bankruptcy that we have today. My grandfather didn't abuse the emergency room situation, because for one it didn't exist, and for two he didn't have to. People today have to, because the prices are so incredibly high. Long story short, why don't you stop associating anything negatively said about illegal immigration with racism and hypocrisy and actually evaluate it on its own merits?
