Crash the tea party

Sorry, I cannot make heads or tails of your first point.

I thought so.

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.

Amazing how people who can't win the arguement try to turn it into some other issue.

This isn't about the healthcare plan - its about the fact that the country - at least the vast majority of it - sees this as a horrible idea. The reality is that many people - of various political leanings - feel this way - and choose the tea parties as a way to be seen and heard. The fact that those who support such policies cannot take the heat means they must find - and encourage - underhanded mudslinging to discredit those who speak what the majority feels.

After all - if the group was "racist" and "homophobic" on its own - there would be no need to "infiltrate" them and then act EXTREME to provide an example of the "evil tea parties". But those who hold a "left is best at any cost" view can't argue that - so they try and divert the arguement - first by posting a bunch of pictures of people making fun of Obama - and then going into car insurance and health care.....

If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funnier.

You are as wrong about government ER funding as you are about the requirement for foreign medical grads to do a residency in the US regardless of residency training abroad.

Residents are subsidized to the tune of more than they get paid, presumably to cover their education. The vast majority of US hospitals have no residents.

ERs get government funding at a federal level and to varying degrees at state level also. One of the issues up for debate by your politicians and hospital boards for years is the shortfall in the government funding
And I never said that about the requirements, what I said was foriegn graduates in some states can take their part 3 exam without a residency.
Can you recall your response to that information?

Residents are subsidized to the tune of more than they get paid, presumably to cover their education.

And to what tune are they subsidised before they get to the Residency stage?

Face it, the tea parties are funny because they are so pathetic.
