If you add 41,000,000 uninsured to the system, at the same level of service, overall cost will go up by a proportional amount. If you assume a significant number of these families can't afford $8,000-10,000 a year, that will get passed along to those who can. Even Obama is out there trying to tell people this is not going to be "free" medical care, but they won't actually put real numbers to it. I've heard the Reps say that there "EVERYBODY ALREADY HAS HEALTH CARE!!" Nobody is turned away from the emergency room. *That* is absolutely bull****. Must not be getting publicized if it's happening. Last time I heard about it was in late '80's, under Bush I. A young guy - early 20's I think - went to an E-room in Tennessee or Kentucky. Indigent, and diabetic. Needed a shot of insulin. Hospital had seen him before, and the claims boss told a nurse crew to put him in the local park. He was a deadbeat. They propped him under a tree, where he died a bit later. Passers-by found him there. Smile on his face probably, leaves mirrored in the faded light of his eyes. Not a bad way to go, under a tree. The hospital gets kudos for that touch. There was probably a dumpster closer by. --Vic |
