Not to mention that anyone that has no insurance can walk into a public hospital and get treated then never pay the bill. This is why when you go to the ER half the people there don't speak English. They know they can come there and never have to pay. This is why they give you 2 advil and charge you $25 for them or they give you a little plastic vomit bin and charge you $50 for it. They are trying to make up what they lose on those that don't pay.
