I don't care what the right or left call anything anymore so many laws have been passed by them I am just a criminal waiting to get picked up and sent to jail for the crime of living as I always have.Wake up and enjoy the end of freedom by living it till they get you.Healthcare and food are free in prison.

He could not because he had a preexisting condition. After he became an adult and dropped from his parents health insurance policy, no insurance company would insure him and he died as a result. It is all in the link I provided.

Doesn't sound like he would be profitable to the insurance company, though.

You won't have to pay in prison which is your new plan. I am guessing your 'cancer surgeries" were removal of skin moles or the like.

No, probably not. Insurance companies do not like to insure those with a high probability of becoming ill. That was why Medicare came to be. Health insurance companies were dropping senior citizens from their insurance coverage like hot potatoes!

Should the family members be forced to pay?
Should the hospital take a loss on the patient (bankruptcy)?
Should the patient be gouged as much as possible?
Should the wealthy people pay?
Should every taxpayer pay an even amount?
Should it depend on the cost of treatment?
Should only certain illnesses be paid for?
Should they have their property seized?
Should they be placed in a debtor's prison?
Should they be told to find a better job?

What should happen to those who currently can't afford to treat or cure their disease?
They will call Obama of course ... he promised that everyone would be "covered". He promised a world full of rainbows, a world of Utopia. He Promised.

No they don't.

They raise prices across the board and everyone else pays for it.

Just like shoplifting.....the store doesn't "eat it".....they raise prices to make up for it.
