ER’s can’t refuse to treat because the person can’t pay. We pay through higher prices for all.
I wish we would turn people away who refuse to purchase insurance. That would be a happy day for me. I can understand the poor not being able to afford insurance and we would have to have a system where they pay 10 percent of their paycheck towards medical insurance, but those folks who go on vacation all the time, eat at restaurants who refuse insurance I would love the ERs to tell them to go fix it yourselves. I find that revolting that people can refuse insurance and then get seen at the ER.....I am against the Obamacare because it forces people to get insurance. I am against that. I want people to chose, but since it will be their choice than I think they should be able to be turned away at the ER and any medical facility. I wish I ran America.....we would have not one cent of debt.
How about the uninsured poor who smoke 2 packs a day and drink a six pack a day? I see it all the time. Insurance could easily be paid for with what they lay out a month for alcohol and tobacco. But I have to treat them for free and we all pay their hospital bills.....
