Everyone can go to the Emergency room and get treatment. No one can be turned away.

But... Everyone, and I mean everyone, gets a bill for the services rendered. Just because they have to treat you without insurance they don't have to treat you for free and they don't.

Can't pay? No problem! That's what judgements are for. If you have a job your wages are garnashed, if you don't your property is seized.

But help is one the way! In a few years everyone will have access to health insurnace so they will be able to pay something when they get worked on. But, you say. won't the higher costs to the insurance companies be passed on to me?

They are being passed on to you now by the hospital through your insurance company to cover those that can never be collected on. People like those that leave the country, the dead, etc....
