Re: your Oct. 25 article, "Republicans bash Democrats on healthcare plans":
This story regarding the healthcare mess Congress is stumbling over reports a new requirement that most people buy health insurance. Who are the ones not included in "most people?" Illegal immigrants? Will they be denied healthcare? If they can't afford insurance, surely they cannot afford healthcare. Or will the rest of us be required to pick up the cost of their care via federal benefits?
