Last I checked, hospitals were required to treat people.

Let me guess, you don't know the difference between health insurance and healthcare.
Yeah but see, the problem is that people are unable pay for healthcare. I know you conservatives like to pretend that's not true but this thread alone proves that you guys simply do no live in the real world or at least have no understanding of it.

Thanks to the ACA, you can now buy your own healthcare insurance at affordable rates.

Thankfully the vast majority of Americans disagree with you. We don't consider providing essential healthcare for our citizens a "charity".

Yes! In America, anyone can succeed if they make the effort and live by commonsense.

People are trapped in poverty by their own really bad and stupid life decisions... like not putting an effort into their grade school studies, not acquiring a desirable job skill, making babies before they have a career and a long term stable healthy relationship... not learning English... not knowing how to act, dress and speak professionally.

And no, a job at a fast food restaurant should not pay a living wage.

Show me where in the Constitution that "providing essential healthcare" is enumerated.

Show us where it's prohibited. It involves interstate commerce.

If commercials can tout these products safe for consumption the corps should pay for their lies.

Yes, these sorts of Big Brother programs are NOT authorized under the Constitution, and are responsible for he bloating, in large part, of the budged, deficit and debt.
