Thread Name: BS: Court strikes down health care insurance
Subject: RE: BS: Court strikes down health care insurance
Here's the real deal:
People are going to get treated if they show up at most emergency rooms, regardless of their illnesses or injuries...
Who pays for their treatment when they can't/won't pay??? All of us...
Like department stores price their goods that reflect x% of shop-lifting, health care providers do likewise... In other words, the more folks who show up with lung cancer who have smoked 3 packs a day for 40 years or the morbidly obese who have eaten themselves into diabetes and congestive heart failure the more the rest of us will have to pay... There are no free lunches so we pick up the tab, one way or another...
So the Repubs want "no personal responsibility" here and the Dems wnat "personal responsibility"???
