A small comment on health care

Currently there are plenty of people who are uninsured.

These people have babies, or they are in car accidents, or they simply need care as they age.

The United States, the hospitals, do not turn them down. They get services regardless of their financial situation.

Does anyone really think this is done for FREE?

From my understanding, this is why the price of health insurance is getting so expensive for those that have it. The cost of caring for the uninsured is being tagged onto the price of health insurance.

As the cost for having health insurance increases, the more incapable people are to pay for the plans they have. Leading to more uninsured individuals, and sky rocketing insurance prices. That's just scratching the surface!

Now how can people say that there shouldn't be any kind of health reform?

I guess the question is now, how do we pay for it, and do we support everyone? Including illegal immigrants to people who jeopardise their health daily (examples: Alcoholics, smokers, compulsive fast food eaters, and those who fail to follow doctor orders).
