This article had me until this:
“7) Those who show up at an Emergency Room without health insurance would be treated, but then sanctioned criminally. Probably pay a fine or do community service. Multiple offenders risk jail time (like deadbeat dads). That takes care of the Emergency Room problem. Its a requirement that everyone have some kind of health insurance done the right way.”
Jail people for going to the ER without health insurance?! there is no ‘right say’ for the gov’t to impose a ‘requirement that everyone have some kind of health insurance.’

If you go to the ER without insurance you should just get a bill — plain and simple. If you don’t pay the bill, you go to jail. Case closed.

Remember how we can’t possibly deport illegals from hospitals, because it will discourage them from seeking treatment?

I agree there’s no way to force unwanted insurance, but imposing some hefty, life-wrecking penalties on those who abuse the ER would cut down on those confusing it for a freebie Minute Clinic.
Let’s say a month in jail per grand owed, if you can’t or won’t pay...no pleading out, but you do get the option to turn around and take yourself back out before accepting treatment.
So, how serious are we about stopping those picking our pockets?

Yeah unless there is an enforcer entity in the ER I don’t see hospitals doing this. Not just because it goes against their mission of healthcare but it would cost them too much to monitor that component.

Multiple offenders risk jail time (like deadbeat dads). That takes care of the Emergency Room problem. Its a requirement that everyone have some kind of health insurance done the right way.Illegals will be exempted from this, I'm sure.

So we've finally reached the point where suicide is rational response to sudden unemployment. Well if I lose my job I'm not going out without taking leftist vermin with me!
