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?
I believe the illegals are the problem here. They don’t have health insurance therefore go to emergency rooms.
Get rid of illegals, we can then talk about health care. Until then, illegals rape our system.
Yeah, I’d keep that one to myself ;).
