Are Rich Hollywood, Sports, Music, And Other Celebrities Any Different Than Rich CEO's?

I'm saying it doesn't cover everything. Healthcare is much more affordable than it once was, but it doesn't cover everything, and it's not free.

It's not free anywhere, which means nowhere in the entire world has healthcare for free. How about a national sales tax funding a healthcare system? That would be fair because the people who use healthcare the most and are more sick would be paying higher taxes for it.

Yes. Emergency rooms will patch you up, stop the bleeding. They take care of immediate risks. However, if you have something that requires more than the immediate care you receive in the emergency room, the hospital doesn't cover that. They will get you through a heart attack but are not responsible for continuing care needed after the heart attack or any other long-term illness like diabetes or COPD.

As I said, auto insurance covers your medical bills if you are in a car accident. Are you driving around with no insurance and the accident was your fault?

How did Oprah and Taylor Swift get so rich?

By supplying a product that people were willing to pay for.

Sales taxes are regressive. No, I'm not going to explain that for you.

That depends on your policy. It might come as a surprise to you, but some medical needs aren't car wreck related.
