214. You are wrong. When an uninsured person goes to the ER, they must be treated with or without

insurance true, but then they get the bill. I know this for a fact having seen the huge bills sent to people I know who had no coverage. Also, most people I know without coverage rarely go to the doctor.

Many of them end up dying rather than run up astronomical bills they will be paying for the rest of their lives.

I don't where this notion that people are treated for free when they go to the ER came from, it is simply not true. IF they are indigent, then they are eligible for Medicaid.

44,000 Americans are allowed to die each year in this country for lack of healthcare.

What if I don't like that??

To all those who do not want to contribute to the saving of lives, not to worry, the Right Wing has worked hard for the past several decades to make sure that poor, sick people 'DIE QUICKLY' so they won't cost very much.

Maybe we could set it up so anyone who doesn't want to participate in helping others less fortunate, don't have to pay towards the care of anyone else.

But they should hope and pray that they are never in a position where they need help some day. Lots of people who never expected to be there, ARE there now.

I would willingly contribute whatever I could to keep people alive and hope one day we will become a civilized country where no one ever has to die because of greed and profit. It is obscene.
