But as I pointed out, you already do pay for the uninsured through increased costs and insurance premiums. You have the freedom to join the uninsured and become part of the problem, or be insured and pay for the uninsured. Hospitals do not have an option to turn away emergency patients. It's a catch 22 which why I want some form of universal wellness care, perhaps not this one, but something.
You have nothing without your health, and people with nothing become desperate and more criminal. How about a real world alternative suggestion that balances individual responsibility with social responsibility.
