What do you do with the uninsured who are dying of a cureable disease?

the incredibly sad thing about the whole healthcare reform is that it will do absolutely nothing to decrease medical costs. In fact, by ensuring that health insurance companies are going to be guaranteed income, prices will only rise.

That is the question I was asking. Do you let them die when they took the risk? Remember those kids will grow up with out a parent, and kids who grow up without a parent are more likely to be a cost to society.

Then you didn't bother to read my previous answer. And "more likely" is not a relevant reason to saddle society with the cost of his reasonable risk.

So the question has been asked and I am sure many of the hard core conservatives are dying for a chance to clarify.

Lets say a middle class man, with a wife and kids and a reasonable income chooses to not get health insurance for himself. Lets just say he buys a boat instead. This man gets a type of cancer that is usually cureable, but that cure is very expensive, it will take a three year corse of treatment that will cost about 1.6 million in total.

What do we do with this man? Does he get the treatment? Do we let him die?

all anyone needs to do is look at historical markets where something was mandated. they said auto insurance would get cheaper by making everyone get it, it didn't.

for all the griping and hating that liberals give to corporations, you sure are hypocritical by making legislation that forces citizens to give health insurance companies even more money.
