When people do not pay, they do not recognize the cost.
Most every tax in the US is a progressive tax. We just went on medicare. Having worked hard and earned good money, we pay almost twice as much for medicare as the minimum and unlike people who pay less we do not have inflation-rising cost protection.

RE: Obamacare
Our medical care system has been a mess for a very long time. If, you PAY FOR insurance, as we did pre being qualified for medicare medicare your insurance company gets a far lower bill then you would if you CHOSE to self insure-pay your own bills. Personal experience 5 days in the villages hospital was billed 50,000 my insurance paid 30,000 and that covered the bill in full that is a 40% difference.

We read that young healthy people object to being forced to pay for obamacare. Sadly you do need to FORCE people to be responsible.
A too common occurrence. A young healthy person is hit by a car do they scream HELP or do they scream I decided not to have any insurance so just take me to the DUMP.
Nothing is free. Someone must pay to keep that hospital open to pay for all that equipment, to pay the staff AND TO PAY FOR MALPRACTICE INSURANCE.

RE: paying healthcare for illegal aliens.
That bugs me as well BUT, when you eat out perhaps the illegal working there has tuberculosis or????? Both polio and tuberculosis were virtually non existent in the United states. We have been invaded with zangi feaver, zika virus and perhaps even aids. If we choose to deny care these and other diseases will be spread by people with no medical care.
