Since most poor people use Hospital Emergency Rooms for medical care... and since Hospitals can charge $10,000 for a four hour 'visit' - - then write off the loss on their taxes (screwing over all of us) while ruining the credit of the poor needing medical care... We have a system that cost a lot and screws over everyone except the wealthy hospital owners. A very costly was to treat the poor...

The answer is:

o Create 24 hours a day 'clinics' in hospitals NEXT to the Emergency Rooms where the poor are comfortable going... 'Give a credit' of $500 to each person who qualifies... and assign an amount they pay per visit... Say two bucks for someone totally broke...(that's 250 visits before they start paying out of pocket) Let each person CHOOSE the doctor they want to see. The two bucks is subtracted from the poor person's 'account', the doctor is paid a normal office visit by Uncle Sam. Because doctors are 'chosen' those who aren't good to their patients won't make enough money to stay in the system - assuring that patients are treated with respect. This avoids the VA mentality and asorted types of horrors that happen when 'care' is seen as charity. Because Hospitals aren't getting massive write offs the system starts to pay for itself. Everyday citizens can also use the system - but they would pay the equivalent of an office visit to a private doctor. No forced insurance... no bookkeeping.. no tax write offs, no degradation of the human spirit.

Just 'medical care' which is what the poor want...No one was ever clambering to buy health insurance. How does that work for you cba123?

Obama has hated everything about America his whole life.

He loves to fall back on - you can do it, but I’ll make it so expensive, it’ll break you.

His global warming speeches showed his exuberance for making Electricity costs skyrocket.

His real goal was to change America, erase America.

The line of demarcation should’ve been when Congress and the Senate balked at having the Obamacare like everyone else. The Republicans should have stood against it - and against funding it with full force at that time.

They all said it was the greatest thing since fire, and the Media loved it, all the Talking Heads. All the anecdotal stories about families with sick kids ceased immediately. Not another was ever printed.

Who didn’t know that young people working crappy Obama service jobs wouldn’t spend $240 a month for something they couldn’t afford to use, with the deductibles.

And States have thrown away Millions on the scam.

Oh sure, have the taxpayers subsidize more of the poor’s medical needs. It’ll only make matters worse.
