Don't forget that the 10% without health insurance get treated anyway
when they need expensive care, and the hospitals include their costs
in what they charge the rest of us.

So someone gets run over by a bus and we are supposed to leave them
on the street? Or somehow we are going to not send them to an
emergency room? What fraction of that 10% needs such care per year
anyways? It's a very small fraction of the total cost of healthcare,
and no reason to sell out the interests of the 90%.

IMHO, just pass a law that says you can't bankruptcy your way out of
hospital bills and make 'em pay.

You do realize your credibility goes right down the toilet with your
textbook rants like this. Not that you had much to begin with.
