Personally, I like to leave it up to the people to decide whether they want health insurance or not. If they choose not to buy insurance, then they have to live with the consequences of not being treated in ER except for extreme circumstances.
However, I’m sympathetic to the idea of single payer system. If we do that, we should just extend Medicare to all and raise the Medicare tax for all to accommodate the extra cost of extending Medicare to all. There’s no need to have this ACA.[/quote]
Why do we need to treat them in the ER even for extreme circumstances if they made the choice to go without insurance? Those extreme circumstances cost us the most bucks.
I agree single payer is the best system, but remember, that’s socialism!
