Doesn’t it sound familiar? Hospitals (ERs) making up their loss from (uninsured) ER patients by billing higher amt to their insured patients?[/quote]
Same problem, totally different solution. The government doesn’t offer a public option for auto insurance… Why? If your argument is uninsured people are the caused of spiraling health care cost, then why not force everyone to buy health insurance, like auto insurance. If you don’t, you’ll be fined.[/quote]
I didn’t say uninsured people is the only reason of spiraling health care cost. It is one of the reasons, don’t ya agree?
My understanding is (since nothing in firmed up yet) that if you don’t have insurance through employer-based one, than you have to participate in non-profit and/or govt sponsored one.
The fine is an incentive to make sure everyone shares paying for the cost for providing basic health coverage for most americans. I don’t think you need to be scared by the word ‘fine’.
