I love comments like this. Unreal. In my limited personal experience with health care issues, the only thing anybody has ever asked me was for my BlueCross/BlueShield insurance card. I've never been asked how much income I make or if I can pay personally for "better" care. Eisboch If you were poor, you wouldn't have that insurance card. A significant portion of your insurance premiums are used to reimburse hospitals for emergency room treatment, sometimes of "sniffles" etc, for poor families. The emergency room (of some hospitals) is the only place these families know they will not be turned away for lack of resources. We are already delivering health care to the poor, in the most conceivably expensive manner possible. Don't want to pay for health care for poor folks? Maybe a $100 or so of your current health care insurance premium already goes to that purpose. Let's buy health services for the poor at a reasonable, rather than a premium cost. Let the "poor" buy their own health services? They don't need cable. They don't need to take the family out to dinner. They don't need the new car. Its all about decisions. You ignorant ass. |
