Show respect when asking health questions

I am concerned that a government that has spent us into $12 trillion into debt claims it is going reduce our health care costs. It is my belief, adding 47 million (about 15 million illegal immigrants) people to the current federal health care system (Medicare, Medicaid, VA) cannot lower costs. The only way it would appear costs could be reduced is if there is a reduction in services.
Asking questions of our representatives about the specifics of their bill is an excellent exercise of our constitutional rights. An angry discord will not be productive to anyone. Please be respectful and humble in your questions.
