Healthcare VS.....What??

http://www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/3566102.html

I was reading this article about healthcare and it was something that was stated in the passage that had confused me a little bit. The statement said "we are hearing once again that only government can address the unmet needs of the poor and uninsured." Now this quote I really did not understand. How is that possible?? I think if someone or a group of people are willing and able to help others...LET THEM. The government can on only address those peoples needs.....HELLO!!!! Healthcare is ONE of the MANY ISSUES that has been brought up in this whole presidential election. In my opinion the government isn't doing anything but help George Bush run our country into the ground. How is it possible to let the government do things for us "po folk" and the nation is extremely in debt itself. How can the government help us when they don't have any money. SO NOT UNDERSTANDABLE!!!! (is that even a word :)) As I furthered my reading through the paragraph it also stated that "no state should claim that all children will now have health insurance. We know from our experience in Tennessee that it will never happen." Not only will it not happen in Tennessee but no other state either because our nation is in so much debt.

As I was reading this article I was stunned to read that a lady had got turned away from three facilities all because her baby was claimed not to be "sick enough." How sick do you want the poor child??? Half past dead?? That is a crying shame that a baby, an infant, has to be half past dead to get its proper medical attention.

What is this world coming to?!!!!!
