If the Feds, or Hawaii, TRULY wanted everyone to have health care, STOP pissing around, include it in the taxes. Raise the state GET 1% and be done with it. Everyone in Hawaii, resident 6 months or longer, gets full healthcare, regardless of who you are, bank manager, single mom or homeless. Even the homeless pay taxes when they buy anything. We can tell all of the insurance companies to kiss off.

We can do it for rail, then do it for something worthwhile !

This "new and improved" obamacare still does not cover services that are truly needed. Take a good look at the teeth of the poor. Obamacare nor the states coverage covers ANY level of dental care for adults in Hawaii, unless you consider yanking out teeth to be "healthcare". The only dental service for adults is extractions. So, have a minor tooth ache "yank it out." No cleanings covered, no basic fillings covered, no preventative maintenance at all covered. From the service offered, It appears poor people just don't need teeth
