Scalia Is A Heartless Ghoul - Deny Service For Those With No Insurance. [View all]

During the arguments Scalia made a scary remark during the "mandate" arguments. When the lawyer brought up the fact that the law required medical treatment for people without insurance that required a mandate Scalia made asked the following question.
He said, "Why not change it?"

To me that question was strange and interesting. He seems to imply that people without insurance should be denied service. And I do believe that the GOP does support such an idea of denial of service for no insurance. How would that work for everyone. Grayson was right the GOP plan for America would be if you get sick just die quickly. Maybe they would support what happens to horses when they break a leg.
