So is Obamacare, but that didn’t stop the SCOTUS from allowing it.
Insurance, in general, is NOT mandatory. Banks won’t give you a mortgage without homeowner’s insurance, but if you own your home, you don’t have to have it.
Most states won’t give you a DL or registration without auto insurance, but that doesn’t stop a 12 year old from getting behind the wheel and driving.
Not everyone has health insurance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go to the ER if you have a heart attack. You’ll just have to pay the hospital for services rendered, as is customary with any service provider.
Insurance is a freaking racket.
If they can´t outlaw guns and ammo..they will try to make it very expensive....and they will...
Some won't pay the hospital. My husband had to have a serious operation and the day before was put in a room with another patient. The other patient was dirty. A nurse came in with a form for the man to sign so some money would go to the hospital - it was likely a Medicaid form. The man said he wasn't signing anything and they had to treat him.
I followed the nurse out and ask her to move my husband to another room as the man was filthy and they would use the same bathroom. They moved my husband out of that room right away.
What was the hospital going to do about this man? They can't turn away anyone can they? He wasn't signing anything so did the hospital have to eat the expense?
