I am not responsible for the cost of others who do not pay. The only reason hospitals treat people who do not pay and incur those costs is because the government requires them to. The same goes for the ambulance company.
OK.
So, what was your financial plan if you had a medical emergency away from home, or even at home, for that matter?
Consider this analogy:
It's as though you were standing in a long line to buy a glass of lemonade. Way down at the front of the line, at the stand itself, there's a large sign proclaiming:
"Lemonade: 5ยข a glass - but we will also add on the cost of all the scofflaws, illegal aliens, and drink-and-runners to the price of the glass you drink, otherwise we will go bankrupt, since we are required by law to serve anyone who shows up!"
So if you choose to stand in that line, you are tacitly agreeing to these conditions (which are well known to every adult American).
sit-rep was well aware of the general situation here in America at this time. He understands that Emergency Rooms are not allowed to turn away anyone seeking medical attention, etc. He knows what insurance is - but chooses to not insure himself.
This is an example of "informed consent." So he got everything that was coming to him.
