I hope I am not helping to bring the NHS to CA, but on the other hand, the current system just isn't working. We need to try something. People getting truned down at emergency rooms is unaccpetible, even if the fix means means becoming more ike those systems I hate. I guess that is a price I am willing to pay because anything is better than children getting denied medical care, especially in emergencies. Whatever the cost, that has to stop.

I am not sure what California is like, but in WA a state hospital, at least, cannot turn someone (child or adult) away for lack of insurance.
