[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1506789, member: 28912"] "Freeloaders, deadbeats, and illegals have no right to free medical care." I don't disagree with you here, but the problem becomes who is the deadbeat and who is the disabled or disadvantaged ? That is the question that this society must struggle with. I do not even pretend to have the answer. "Regarding insurance companies - they are stringently regulated." This is where we disagree, Health Insurers are stringently regulated when it comes to Medicare/Medicaid, but not in the other private marketplaces. Also, there is no regulation as to how much Hospital's charge. When was the last time a hospital told you, "hey we are going to put a box of kleenex in your room, but we are going to charge you $50?" Hospitals have contracts with Insurers to only pay a certain amount for each service, but pity the person who doesn't have insurance and has to pay a $40k hospital bill when the person with insurance will only be charged $7k. Those least able to pay get charged the most. [/QUOTE]
