This post from Mike Huckabee really added some clarity regarding the benefits of healthcare reform.

47 million uninsured Americans =

12-13 million illegal immigrants

15 million qualify for existing plans, but have not signed up

10 million could afford insurance, but choose not to buy it…spending their money elsewhere.

Also: Why roll out a permanent healthcare plan to the entire country without trying it somewhere first?
