Expert: Healthcare mandate constitutional - UPI.com

Quote:
The federal brief cites Ruger's article in which she argued health risks are uncertain in timing, magnitude and frequency, making it difficult to predict when healthcare services will be needed and how much coverage will be necessary.

This uncertainty, Ruger argued, increases individual and community vulnerability, and economic and health insecurity. Universal health insurance is morally justified, she maintained, because it reduces, mitigates and copes with risks of ill health and the resulting economic insecurity.

"State and federal laws -- reflecting deeply rooted societal values -- have required emergency rooms to stabilize patients," Ruger said. "The uninsured thus participate actively in the market for healthcare services, even if they cannot pay in full."

Great misleading thread title.

Under the present Medicare program, many doctors and healthcare professionals are unjustly enriched due to the fixed fees and rates Medicare mandates.

Morally justify the unjust monetary enrichment of another.

After you attempt that (assuming you have the temerity and wherewithal to do so), note that many Medicare patients are denied health care due to the fact that the fixed fees and rates Medicare coerces do not cover the true costs of health care services.

Morally justify the denial of health care to another under Medicare.

Universally...

Mircea

First it's food insecurity and now it's health insecurity.

Gosh, how did people survive before the current administration came into power with solutions for all of life's little problems ?

What about the members of the Court that can't seem to read the list of 13 things the .gov can do?

I can't control everything.

That's up to the voters to elect CINCs that believe in the constitution when appointing judges.
