I agree with you. Good idea. But what is desperately needed by the (45.995 million Americans-MINUS Offically 17.14 million NON-Americans)=29.855 million AMERICANS without health insurance is health insurance. If you seriously think the current access crisis can be solved by limiting liability, you are insane.
Now for more reality fact checking;
Twenty-nine percent (29%) of American adults favor a national health insurance program overseen by the Federal Government. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 39% oppose such a government-led initiative while 31% are not sure. The survey also found that
46% believe the quality of care would decrease under a national health insurance program while 16% believe that quality would increase. Twenty percent (20%) say the quality of care would remain about the same while 18% are not sure.
At the same time, 42% believe the cost of health care would increase while 25% would expect prices to go down.
While opposing a national program overseen by the federal government, Americans support requiring companies to provide health insurance for their employees.
Sixty-three percent (63%) favor such a requirement while 24% are opposed. An earlier survey found that just 31% rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent.
At the same time, people give much higher reviews to their own health care coverage.
Another survey found that half of all Americans say they support providing free health care for all citizens. However,
support for free coverage drops dramatically if it would require changing to a new insurance program. The current survey found strong partisan differences on all questions.
Republicans strongly oppose national health insurance by a 59% to 25% margin. Democrats are more evenly divided—35% of Democrats favor, 26% oppose, and 39% are not sure. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 25% favor national health insurance overseen by the federal government.
Thirty-five percent (35%) of unaffiliateds oppose such a program while 38% are undecided

http://pubdb3.census.gov/macro/032007/health/h01_009.htmSummary:
Summary:
17.140 million or 36.472% of the over used number of 46.995 million over hyped uninsured are Illegal’s and non-US citizens.
Hispanics make up 8.059 million or 47.702% of ALL uninsured illegal non-us-citizens.
Of the over hyped, 46.995 million uninsured, 8.964 million or 19.01% make $75,000 or more a year. Of that an astonishing number, 65.72% are whites, who are likely college educated, young and liberals.
Even more astounding IN CHOICE, is that those at or above the media US income of 46,000, some 8.992 million or 19.13% of this overhyped uninsured make between $50 and $75,000 a year.
That is 32.096 million or 68.83% of ALL reported uninsured which are either non-us citizens and or are those uninsured by FREE WILLED choice, who make more than $50,000 or more a year, MORE THANTHE MEDIAN income of ALL us citizens..
That is not a crisis in HEALTH INSURANCE coverage, it is crisis in overhyped lies and personal choices of responsibility!!
THAT IS ALL!!
