We are already mandated to buy auto insurance in our state. Otherwise they revoke your driving license.
I am generally against anything government runs, but do not know what is a good solution when people show up at hospitals without health insurance. IMHO hospital should have the right to refuse admission.
“. IMHO hospital should have the right to refuse admission.”
You’ve got that straight. Immediate behavioral modification.
They only mandate car insurance IF YOU DRIVE A CAR. If not, you are not required to buy car insurance.
Further it is a states rights issue, not a federal constitutional issue. Meaning you can move to another state that does not require car insurance, IF you choose to drive a car.
They could provide an absolute minimum of medical care. Then bill them, take whatever assets the people have against their medical bills. Or allow people to sell property to cover the bills.
I would also allow private people and groups to make tax-deductible donations to hospitals of their choice to be used to help cover medical expenses of those having problems covering their bills.
