Current health system worth fixing
By Francisco Sotomayor | Oct. 20, 2009I would like to respond to the opinions in the Alligator that show a bias against health reform.

They would rather go to the emergency room uninsured, and guess who pays the bill for them? We do with our hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
