So what happens is the cost of their care, is added to the cost of the other people who do pay. An unspoken reason why healthcare is so expensive. Another issue-COST IS NOT POSTED FOR HEALTHCARE. How many of us have asked the cost? TRY IT. iN MOST CASES YOU WILL GET A DIRTY LOOK-THE DOCTOR WILL BE OFFENDED. What else do you buy without asking the price? Asking about better, or perhaps less expensive ways of dealing with whatever the problem is. Also, we have a LIBERAL VIEW when it comes to health care. Why should someone NOT PAYING FOR IT, get the same care as someone who is paying the bill? Why is their not a blind rating system for each doctor?

I don't know where you come from but the hospitals I have used, billed you whether or not you had insurance. And then if you don't pay, they sic the bill collectors on you. There is NO free health care that I know of, other than Medicaid for the poor.
The price of health care is also high because of how much doctors and hospitals have to pay for malpractice insurance. We need tort reform, something that wasn't even addressed in Obamacare. They purposely ignored it. Obama wants Obamacare to fail so that the gov can go to socialized medicine. Purchasing insurance through the Free Enterprise system across state lines would also have brought down the cost of insurance. Also not addressed on purpose. Both of these things were brought up by Republicans and discarded by the socialists in congress.
Now, with Obamacare, the poor are getting even more poor because if they do get insurance, they have to pay outrageous deductibles. Medicaid was expanded costing the taxpayer more money, but most will accept that part. But, the promise for insurance for all, cheaper for all is a myth perpetrated by Obama. We still have millions without health care insurance. Oh, and let's not forget the half trillion plus that was stolen from Medicare to pay for it.
You can take your Obamacare and stick it.
