I'm glad that you didn't debate my statement, so I hope you stop proclaiming the myth that anyone can just walk into an emergency free of charge.
I have a family member that went in and collapsed for 2 weeks with a double pneumonia. He woke up with a couple hundred thousand dollar bill and no possible way to pay for it.
It took a while, but eventually the state did cover it.
If he would have had insurance coverage, he could have went to his doctor when he first started getting sick and not cost near as much to us all. I am a fan of having everyone covered with insurance. Sure a government system where everyone can just walk in and get everything underthe sun sounds great, but it is not realistic and will not happen.
And I don't like liars that push it knowing they can never get it passed.
