But who will pay the health expenses for those who cannot afford them?

We have four possibilities:

Regulate wages that all or almost all workers can afford to pay for modern medical care (directly or through insurance).

Let government pay through the national health care system or through the emergency care.

Compel businesses to provide it.

Let a significant portion of the population to go without medical care.

Tell me what you think which of this options will be chosen or should be chosen?

You state a premise for which I do not agree. Who should pay some else's health care if they cannot afford it? The answer is, no one.

Unless you believe in socialism and communism the answer is always, no one. If you are a church goer and are charitable then that is where one starts if one desires to help the destitute and the weak and the disorganized and the infirmed.

My tax money is not a charity and certainly the money I pay to insure my family against medical costs are not charitable.

I am my own company and if I decide to pay an employee additionally by way of a health insurance policy it is because I want him to remain with me, so I can make even more money. But if I had employees who are interchangeable with any day laborer then why in hell would I want to pay for health insurance.

If you are in favor of Hillary care, just state so, and expose yourself for what you seem to be.
Is there a constitutional right to health care? There are no rights to anything like that and as such, the good will of charities should be where one looks to find solutions, because in the end, the more we look to government for answers, the faster we slip into the abyss of communism, and that is worse than the cure.
