Health Care...the continuing saga!

Still following the debate about Health Care. I know that changes need to be made..I have family members who don't have insurance and rely on the state to help them when they need it. They can't afford to pay for insurance themselves, or the health care without it. It would be nice to know EXACTLY what is being proposed. Are we going to end up like Canada and have a waiting list of 10 months to get into the hospital to deliver a baby that hasn't even been conceived yet? Are they going to limit care to those who have life-threatening illnesses like cancer? What about emergency care? How long are we going to have to wait to get into the doctor for things that aren't life threatening but are still serious like the flu or pneumonia or to get stitches? Who is going to answer all these questions? And better still, who can you trust to answer these questions? Conservatives seem to be against it altogether and the liberals seem to think it is the great answer to all the problems with our health care system.
