We need to get off this insurance campaign. We can't blame lack of insurance being cause of lack of health care. It's the parents responsibility for their childrens health care, not public taxes. Advocates want the tax payers to pay health care for illegals that steal medical services. Take these illegals out of the equation and health care is not as dire as they claim. These advocates for health care would better serve their cause if they went after health care COSTS and why they have escelated to the point that we can't pay for it. The CHIP program, which should be canceled, has been enacted primarily for illegal foreign nationals that I am tired of supporting with my tax dollars and education taxes. The poor in Utah are about 70% illegal aliens doing the whining. Businesses are pushing and backing these socialistic programs so they can't be presseured in to supplementing and helping their workers with health care insurance. Health care costs should not exceed individuals ability to pay for it. Health care facilities and doctors should not be allowed to refuse health care if you don't have insurance, even though you can pay for it.
