This will be wildly popular with the newly insured. (If there are any newly insured)

Patients Pay Before Seeing Doctor as Deductibles Spread
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-14/patients-pay-before-seeing-doctor-as-deductibles-spread.html

“Hospitals provided $41 billion in care for which no payment was received in 2011, up from $3.9 billion in 1980, according to a January report by the American Hospital Association. About 25 percent of uncompensated care stems from insured patients, Caroline Steinberg, vice president of trends analysis at the association, said in an interview.”

A lot of that care for no payment was due to illegals. Illegals are a large number of the uninsured as well. The elephant in the room...

That was under the old system - where no one was denied medical care.

Obama and dems have a new plan. They will make people HURT who don't buy medical insurance... just like they're doing with the shutdown. Buy it or else. No more free hospital care - no more memorials or parks until dems get it their way 100%

Newest dem tactic - pain - deprivation...

Buy the expensive insurance with sky high deductibles that breaks your family or dems will send the IRS after you AND let your child die.
