When people finally figure this out (like the ones who walked away from the hospital in N. Va the other day when their financial responsibility was explained to them), they are not going to be having warm and fuzzy feelings about the Liar-In-Chief, the Law of the Left (Obamacare) and the Dems that foisted the lie on them and continued to mislead them as to what they would be paying for. BTW, the media reported the folks in N. Va were turned away from the hospital because their insurance could not be verified ....wrongo ..... they would have been treated AND, since their deductibles were so high (5K at least), they would have been paying the visit out-of-pocket anyway (one needed a $500 chest x-ray). No one was turned away - they WALKED AWAY when they found out they had to pay.
Haven't we for decades been gnashing our teeth over people who have been getting a free ride?
Well, now, thanks to ObamaDon'tCare, people are actually having to pay for goods and services or, as you point out, they count the costs and decide, "Hmph, maybe this congestion isn't as bad as I thought. Think I'll go spend the 500 dollars on a new TV. That'll make me feel better."
“No one was turned away - they WALKED AWAY when they found out they had to pay.”
BINGO. Since time memorial, there never was any law that said you will never be treated in America. In canada where i’m from, they DO, especially if you do not pay your govt monthly premiums. These leeches are just too stupid and selfish not to pay.
