Durbin just said those who don’t want health insurance are the problem. What about all the illegals draining our system? Not a peep about them.
Turbin is giving me a headache!
No, actually compelling the hospitals to treat people who aren't able (or willing) to pay, or face civil prosecution by the federal government, is the problem. If the government passed a "no insurance or no cash then no treatment" law today, the health care "crisis" would be over tomorrow.
Do people need health care? Sure, in the abstract I guess that's true. But, the need for food is much more immediate, and not hardly abstract. Everyone literally needs food, or they face near-term expiration. Why then, doesn't the government mandate that supermarkets giveaway food to those who can't (or won't) buy it?
Maybe I shouldn't give them the idea, right?
