To the extent they need an endless supply of soldiers, then they need legions of people with an incentive to join up. Is it for decent pay, health coverage, education benefits, etc? <BR/><BR/>The unwillingness to cover everyone seems to come more from American conservatism and people getting what they earn or deserve. In our hometown we have 4% unemployment and 28% uninsured, so it's not hoards of deadbeats, just low wage, no benefit workers.<BR/><BR/>The Democrats got "burned" by Harry and Louise in the 90's and being the spineless group, have largely avoided the issue since. <BR/><BR/>That a number of them Baucus, Conrad, Nelson have received significant donations from the for-profit health care sector leads them to approach the situation piecemeal with "public-private" partnerships. Thinks Medicare Part D as an example of such partnerships. Higher profits margins for insurance companies while some beneficiaries (like poor seniors and the disabled) actually get reduced benefits. <BR/><BR/>Just some opinions, as usual!
