Why do you think our ER's are flooded with people using the hospitals as their primary care physicians.. because they are usually non-profit.. funded by the state one lives in. If it is a non -profit hospital then they have to treat you when you come in and if you can't pay they have to write it off. There are also health charity clinics and other organizations that see people for "donations". Doctors, nurses, PA's, and all other health care workers in different specialties donating their time, money, and energy to see that non-ensured people can get the health care they need. Proud? Yes.. I am very proud to stand up and applaud these "Americans".

Did you know that children in the American public school system have access to affordable health care? On the first day of school you get a whole mess of paperwork that your parents have to sign. One of those pieces of paper is an option to buy health insurance for the year. It's a ridiculously low price (I'm not sure how much, it probably varies by state).

I don't expect the government to cater to my every whim.
I'm a free man, not a ward of the state.
With freedom comes responsibility. I'd much rather accept both, than have neither.
Apparently, some disagree.
PS this oft-quoted figure includes 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants. If life is bad for them here, I want them to GO HOME, not look for handouts.

Not only that, but there are also plenty of Americans who ARE insured, but who still don't get the coverage they need. If you haven't already, you should see "Sicko". The husband of a woman who was featured in the film died after he didn't get a life-saving bone marrow transplant, because their insurance company deemed the surgery "experimental".

Maybe you should ask all the suit happy individuals that have driven up the cost of insurance, or the companies that can no longer afford to pay the premiums? It is not that we have a bad system, but that individuals seems to have better plains for their income than to pay for something they may or may not use.

your right! let's nationalize our health care so that we can have 47 million waiting to see a doctor to treat their medical condition and 8.7 million kids waiting years for standard checkups and immunizations. What in the world are we thinking in the US. We should join the rest of the world and die waiting to see an under educated doctor, who is being paid below average wages, who is dependent upon a bureaucrat handling our medical records. How stupid can we be!

Perhaps they should buy insurance?
Or perhaps you should leave these questions to the adults? Looking at your profile I see you yourself claim to have the mental maturity of a 12 yr old (despite being 54).
Oh that and you are looking for younger friends with a double digit IQ.
Isn't there a hostel nearby with teenagers for you to make friends with?

As an American I do not feel the need to force people to have things they do not want. Insurance is available in the US. Everyone decides to have it or not have it on their own. I personally choose to have insurance, but why should I force my personal choice on others? They have every right to be uninsured if they want to.
