Not sure how I missed this one -- hysterical!
A buddy of mine - a lawyer - who lives in an 8 million dollar house - is all for "insuring everyone" - "because otherwise they don't have access to healthcare".
He doesn't buy the fact *my argument to him* that EVERYONE in America gets healthcare whether they pay for it directly or not…. That even two gangbangers that have had a shootout in the city - killing or injuring 10 or 15 innocent people - will be LIFE FLIGHTED to a hospital should they need it - and will be cared for for life on a respirator - should they need it. They don't have to pay or do a single thing.
What we DID NOT DO with the healthcare law is address any COSTS of healthcare - which is the real issue for most. Insurance is high - because medical treatments are out of control. WE did nothing to address that.
