People were not and are not dying on the streets. Before Zerocare the “disadvantaged” had health insurance accepted in every hospital in America...The ER. Now, even with Zerocare these same people have subsidized insurance through Zerocare, but they still use the ER, because they found out with insurance you have co-pays and deductibles. They aren’t going to pay those because they’re special, the rest of us chumps pay twice—once for their subsidized policy and again with higher charges when we go to the ER or hospital (through the front door).
“Before Zerocare the “disadvantaged†had health insurance accepted in every hospital in America...The ER.”
Access to health care for poor people is readily available in virtually every county in the country at low or no cost at the local public health clinic. Most moderate-size cities also have charity clinics run by non-profits or volunteer health professionals. The ER nonsense was just a ploy to get the public to buy into the fraudulent promises of cost savings under Obamacare.
