I don't like the idea of having pay "more" for health insurance any more than you guys & gals, but I've seen both sides of it and it's ugly no matter how you see it.
cover colorado would have worked for your friend's wife.
or just say "no habla englese", that seems to work too (and is 50% of the real problem)
