Do you realize that those who are uninsured by choice or because they cannot afford, when care is needed, they WILL use emergency care. Emergency care is basically 5 times greater cost that will be paid for by YOU.

Actually the cost of treatement in ER is 10 times higher than seeing a doctor at the clinic, and the cost is paid by the people who have insurance, not by the ones who choose to not have it. So, if everyone had insurance, the cost would come down, because less people would be forced to use ER.
The Republican bill woud do nothing to fix this problem.
