“Before Zerocare the “disadvantaged†had health insurance accepted in every hospital in America...The ER.”
Access to health care for poor people is readily available in virtually every county in the country at low or no cost at the local public health clinic. Most moderate-size cities also have charity clinics run by non-profits or volunteer health professionals. The ER nonsense was just a ploy to get the public to buy into the fraudulent promises of cost savings under Obamacare.
It is true there are many local and charitable clinics, but the disadvantaged are still clogging the ER's. On three separate occasions I've had to go to an ER and had to wait for all the illegals kids to have their sniffles wiped off their faces. My emergencies weren't trivial; first a heart attack, then a fall and injuries after the heart attack, and a colonoscopy gone bad. I could have died each time, and all because the disadvantaged get theirs first. Some triage.
