Can you personally find 100 people that "cant afford" health care?(my guess is no), or simply "CHOOSE NOT TO PAY FOR IT"

Then you ask why is that? Look at the surgeons, look at the hospitals that charge $20 for a gauss (sp?) pad. Or $60,000 for a "routine" appendix removal. Actual price there, friend just had it and had no insurance.

Because a lot of hospitals in high Illegal immigrant areas are being sucked dry due to the Illegals using the er for every stubbed toe and sniffle

Than ask why do these things cost so much? Happens when insurance companies blindly pay and dont say "Hey Mr. Hospital! Thats too much, we are not paying!!!".


And then you ask who "owns" the hospital "industry".

A lot of hospitals are being run as a for profit business( Imagine that some group shelling out ten of millions of their dollars to build a hospital and actually expecting to get a return on their investment heartless capitalist bastards!!)

Ah, interesting little circle there. Actually, not a circle, but a money making industry that pays itself! And its controlled by private companies!
