There are many different free/subsidized clinics too that don't require anything near that kind of payment for those treatments. If everyone had insurance coverage under the ACA they could have a doctor to go to for most issues and preventative care. M4A is unnecessary and will not pass the Senate.
Unremitting stupidity. You are committing to the same lie that the Bernie campaign does. They highlight a "savings" and omit the actual cost. I just linked the study (linking it again) which was republished on sci-hub in order for people to link it. I even quoted the part on the fifth page under the header:
When Barnie says his plan is Medicare for All, do you think that's ingenuous? Because Medicare is not a single payer system.
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 room free of charge.
There's no where near enough free clinics for the US population. Currently they are able to serve less than 1% of the population:
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.
check the exit polls from the states your boy just won or nearly won. It was like 62% in Nevada and not much better in the other two
He got lucky. That isn't the situation in most cases. How has it affected his credit score?
Better than dying on the streets would have I am guessing.
Is that the metric we're using to deem something a good idea now? Dying on the streets? I'd rather get shot in the foot than shot in the head, but I'd rather not get shot at all.
Seriously? What part of if he had insurance which he would have if Obamacare was able to get implemented to 100% of the American population before the Republicans stopped it did you not understand?
ER's are NOT a substitute for a health care system....
Right, having affordable insurance coverage for 100% of the population would be which is what I had said. Everyone has access to healthcare now, it is just a pain in the ass if you cannot afford it. Fixing the holes the Republicans poked in Obamacare is doable, and reasonable, scrapping everything to try to pass M4A is a dangerous gamble right now with Trump and McConnell sitting in DC for the next 4 years.

What "IF" elephants could fly? The world is full of "what if's". For example "what if Obama had endorsed Biden months ago?" Hmm.. what if?
