Perhaps its Republicans who dont get it.

We provide medical coverage for the elderly, Republicans get that, as do Democrats. I am a registered Republican and I believe every child in this country should have health care coverage as well as every disabled person who lacks the mental or physical ability to provide for themselves - without question. If Democrats would support this, why don't they act on it? Instead we get, this bill, which is simply a mess, starting with the tax on tobacco and ending with the fact that you would not be able to find more than a small percentage of people who would understand ho the program works.
