Re: Basically
This is why the moaning and groaning about having to pay for health care for the poor (and illegal aliens) is so misguided. We are already paying for it. IMHO, it is also misguided to claim that this bill will "bankrupt the country". Guess what? Health care is already bankrupting this country. Everything that the Republicans are complaining about is exactly what the current system is doing.
I mention in passing that the US pays more public money per head on health than the UK; and we have free care (at the point of use) for all.

Re: Disappointed at a promise taken away
The irony in that being that Costa Rica has universal health care anyway...
