So your solution is "defraud hospitals." Gotcha.Nope, its fact. before obozocare no one in the USA was denied medical care.
Not sure what this new entity is you're talking about, but I'd like to see you prove that prior to the PPACA no one in the U.S. was denied medical care.
Hospitals could not turn anyone away before ACA. Yeah, they had to use the ER rather than a doctors office. BFD, when you get something free it may be a little inconvenient.
Granted. But patients were denied coverage for preexisting conditions, and insurers placed caps on coverage for chronic and/or expensive conditions.
"Oh, you have cancer? Treatment will cost $100,000? Sucks to be you."
being denied insurance is not being denied treatment. MD Anderson treats cancer patients whether they have insurance or not, so does Ochsner, Cleveland clinic, and Mayo clinic, Shriners, St.Jude, etc. Sure, they try to collect, but they realize that you can't get blood from a turnip and they don't take people to court.
You are parroting a false narrative.
of course not. What is being done under ACA is exactly the same as what was being done before ACA, those who pay for coverage are paying for the ones who do not pay. If you are getting obamacare free or heavily subsidized and I am paying full premium, then I am actually paying your premium or subsidy.
Its no different than what was going on before. Except that now we also have to pay for a huge govt beaurocracy to administer this POS law.
