Not having health care works if you don't have a catastrophic injury, and/or you are willing to let the hospital write off services and pass the bills on the the rest of us.
This isn't really a sustainable plan for the nation.
- ambiate 14y agoThere's a hidden truth in 'writing off'. Insurance companies wager paying the bill too. They say "We'll pay 60% of that $8000 ER visit." Guess who covers 25% of that leftover 40%? In a majority of cases, the government. (Source: My aunt has worked for a hospital performing these write-offs the majority of her 45 year life.)
