Argument over as far as I'm concerned.

Here's the part most people forget to tell you when they're bitching about healthcare here. We DO have free public healthcare. It's called Medicaid. And people get excellent treatment at top notch facilities with it. No waiting or bullshit. Of course, it's for the poor/low income.
For the rest, you either have a job that provides it, or there IS health care coverage available. When people claim they can't "afford" health care here, what they usually mean is that when they decide how big of a mortgage they can afford, car payment they can handle, vacations they will take, toys they will buy, they don't budget health care into the equation. They would rather have their beer, cigarettes, big screen tvs, or whatever else they think is more important.
Not only can you get it, it's a small price to pay for the superior and excellent treatment you'll get.
