No Howard, hospitals have funds that many give to that fund this, and even if their overhead is raised, raising prices, it is not the same and the gov't taking your money and giving it to others. Why, because every business has its fixed costs; treating the indigent is what they must do. However, those that are really concerned about the uninsured would do better to give to the local hospital's fund for this purpose than to back further gov't intrusion. -- bill-o

I am not compelled, at the point of a gun, to buy health insurance. All companies price their goods and services so that they can cover their expenses. If someone orders a box of widgets and does not pay for them, then that is a cost of doing business. If I find out that the business is lousy at qualifying its buyers I have the choice of going to another business to buy my widgets from. 1) Health insurance is not a right. 2) Nobody is refused health care in life threatening situations, we have made that illegal. 3) Stop thinking in terms of shared responsibility and think of personal responsibility. We have too big and too wide of a safety net in the USA. |
