I have no idea why this is so incredibly difficult.
Let's say I don't have health insurance but my kid gets very ill. Since I cannot afford to go to a regular pediatrician, I have to find an alternative that does not cost me any money (remember, I don't have any!). The only option is generally to go to an emergency room where my child will have to be treated, no matter what. Since I cannot pay my bill, the tax payer (and those who have insurance) will get stuck with my bill. Since it is an ER bill, it will cost other people at least $1500.
Who says you do not have to pay if you go to the emergency room? That is completely untrue unless you are an immigrant or on Medicaid. You will receive a bill most definitely, and if you don't pay, yes, they will recoup the cost from those that have insurance eventually (unfair as that is), but they will also report your non-payment to the credit bureaus.
Judging from the posts by so many on this thread, health insurance does nothing to help with being able to obtain medical treatment that might prevent death. All of you that believe this, get rid of your insurance or Medicare! You will save $$$$ and still have the same advantage as if you did have insurance.
Correct , because i realy dont give a damn about people I dont know. So obviously I dont want to pay to insure people I dont give a damn about.
Ohhh..you're not being very PC now are you ?
Remember what Hillary said.."It takes a village (all all their money as well)"
Why we just might have to vote you "out of the village"

Then don't give opinions about what happened to these people and why if you don't know. God knows there is enough ignorance in this country without it being spread like an epidemic.

Take a chill pill. You won. Everyone will get their insurance and there will be NO MORE deaths due to not having an insurance card. OK ?

Who pays for all of those people who must be treated in Emergency rules by a law Reagan started?
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA).
