Joe,
Surely Kaiser Permanente (or any other health insurance companies for that matter) would not refuse to give you health insurance if you join one of their plans. I have always had health insurance in the States, either covered by my employer or I bought my own. So why can't you? are you unemployed? Just curious...If you are healthy, your premium will not be that high.I think you might want to look at what 3rd world countries do to help themselves, before you make such statements. Personally, I would rather my taxes going to help those in need than financing wars.
