sorry I will stay on topic from now on.

Reform yes - everyone should agree to that. Emergency, no. I've seen that study and even CNN thinks its an over estimate.
Medical bills prompt more than 60 percent of U.S. bankruptcies - CNN.com
We have differ opinions about emergency. The administration calls it a health care emergency... its a cost of health insurance problem that is affecting health care costs.
Health care is pretty darn good in the US. Refrom yes. Emergency, no.
When did it exactly become an "emergency" I wonder.
Okay, I'll get back on topic...
Maybe Obama won the prize because of him trying to reform health insruance industry.
