The sign up on the wall at the local emergency room says that if you have a life threatening condition, they are obligated to treat you, regardless of whether or not you are insured or have the ability to pay. Ditto if you are in labor.

So who is being discriminated against?

The people that end up paying for the "life threatening condition" or the "labor".

I have to treat all pts whether they have insurance or not. I treat several uninsured patients daily. There is no discrimination
I will NOT work for Hilary or Obama under a socialized medicine plan. IF she pushes this through, good luck finding physicians to treat the patients. (at least competent ones)

Those of us who, through direct payment or our insurance plans, pay the cost of the freeloaders.
