They go to the emergency room or the hospital and never pay their bills.

That is patently unfair.<br /><br />That's what happened with car insurance, and that why mandatory car insurance exists. No one hollering and protesting about that now - although they did when the law passed.<br /><br />That's why HCR is such a good idea. It makes everyone pay their fair share. Of course, tea baggers prefer to mooch off of the rest of us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569789851680284837noreply@blogger.com
