I sort of wonder what happens to hospitals that have small profit margins now if there are 30 million more people without any sort of government reimbursement for their health care services. They are required by law to treat people for emergencies and people will just go from emergency to emergency room shopping for the hospitals that will treat the uninsured.
Supposedly, the study indicates that just 2% of the federal budget would be saved in return for the 30 million more uninsured.
109 billion dollar decrease in federal funding with a federal budget of about four trillion dollars.
Its not about the savings for these people. It is ideological. The idea is that desperate and stressed out employees who are dependent on their employers for health care yields a more slave-like job culture, which is good for the ruling class.
