Bullshit. Someone has to pay for the adequate medical care - and it should be the person receiving it. If you want protection against "individual medical billing", you can always buy insurance - if you don't do that, you should be willing to face the consequences.
To put another way: the only way of ensuring "adequate medical care" to someone without the means or unwilling to pay for it is to force other people to pay for it. Do you think this makes sense? Let's say I eat healthy food (which most people don't), make exercise every single day (most people don't) and pay (insurance) for proper medical care (most people don't).
Why, exactly, should I be forced to pay when someone that eats crap every day, spends 4 hours a day on Television, does no exercise at all, etc, etc, gets sick?
And even that is besides the point - even if a perfectly healthy person gets hit by a car - why should I be forced to pay for it?
