Many Democrats running for Office in 2008 are agreed on supporting creating Universal Health Care. But, I have yet to hear any candidate explain the many benefits of this idea to all the tax payers and citizens that will vote on it, but also have heathcare through the work place. For example, ultimately the tax payer pays for the very expensive costs for emergency room.
Many of the uninsured wait until a medical condition becomes an emergency before they go to the Emergency Room.
The problem is that Emergency treatment is extermly expensive. ER's are not medical clinics that teach or inform the patient about good healthy behavior.
ER's are small hospitals with medical specialists contained within a larger hospital designed to address health crisis, for example heart attacks. These type of Emergency treatment is life saving but expensive. Early detection of contagious diseases is a benefit to all and ER's do this for all of us.
