There is another mandate that incidentally Reagan signed. The mandate on hospital ERs to take in whoever shows up with no reimbursement.
How about getting rid of that mandate?
If the government decides that everyone should be taken care of medically regardless of whether one can pay or not and without any reimbursement, then shouldn’t everybody be also mandated to carry health insurance?
You can’t have one without the other.
Yes it’s part of the healthcare insanity with the result being that any American hospital cannot turn away ANYONE in the world who shows up with an emergency or patient in labor.
It was meant to prevent dumping non-paying patients from fancy hospitals to the inner city and such. But instead has become a lever for the illegals and anchor babies. The unintended consequences of this law need to be cleaned up.
Wasn’t Mooschelle Obama’s fake hospital job in Chicago to cherry pick patients, or something illegal like that?
