True. Hospitals maintain a large reserve to cover unpaid bills. So we all pay for those who can't pay. About 90 to 95% are covered by some form of insurance, private, Medicare, or Medicaid. One might think that hospital loses would not be that great. However, so many people are under insured. That 20% coinsurance may sound quite reasonable for a doctor's visit, but after a few stays in the hospital plus rehab, recovery centers, testing, and followup, 20% can be a huge expense for those in low income brackets, resulting in sizable loses for medical providers.yes making others pay for your stuff always polls well! Sadly, this is how Democrats buy votes and subvert our democracy.
How well does raising taxes $trillions poll? Now you know why Obama had to lie to get it passed!
When it comes to health care you pay for the uninsured anyway. Hospitals usually do not refuse people. If they can't pay - costs are passed on. Some of it to you when you make your visit.
with capitalism you reduce costs 70% so everyone can afford health care. Competition reduces prices. A liberal will lack the IQ to understand how this happens. No one could afford anything in the USSR or Communist China because there was no competition.
