So uninsured shows up, and the hospital eats 100% of that care.
You know that isn't true.

This is not paid for by taxpayers except in the special case of subsidized hospitals
All ERs recieve government funding.

(typically State hospitals, often associated with med schools (which helps because they have slave labor (Residents))).
Residents, thats doctors who have done their exams but cannot yet recieve their final licence to practice unsupervised.
BTW med schools and doctors training are tax payer funded .

The new suggestion is for the taxpayer to pick up the tab. Since the vast majority of tax payers pay no meaningful contribution of tax collected, that means the solution is to make the top tier who are already paying for everything else the government does pay for this, too.
Thats the way the world works.
I suppose you could go strictly back to the times of the constitution and make the taxes people pay largely dependant on what they own, which of course means the wealthy pick up nearly all the bill.
