Way back when Billy was running to be president and he was talking about universal healthcare, I had a German friend and I asked him how universal healthcare works in Germany.

First of al he said that people who can afford it buy PRIVATE HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. As I understood it, IF, YOU PAY FOR IT YOU CAN GET BETTER CARE. Obamacare, THE PLAN HILLARY SUPPORTS, everyone gets the same care WHETHER THEY PAY FOR IT OR NOT. THAT IS SOCIALISM. THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY HAVE IN GERMANY.

Under what you seem to suggest: a young healthy guy decided rather than to PAY for healthcare insurance he will buy a nice car. There he is driving that nice car and he gets into a serious auto crash. Does he scream HELP ME or does he scream I HAVE NO INSURANCE SO TAKE ME TO THE TRASH DUMP-DEAD OR ALIVE.

Currently, everyone gets healthcare WHETHER THEY PAY FOR IT OR NOT. I have a friend who WAS HEALTHY so he had no insurance. He got an infection into his heart. He was taken to a PRIVATE HOSPITAL they gave him EMERGENCY CARE. When they discovered he had no insurance they transferred him to a state hospital. My friend received a heart valve replacement. I'm guessing but the bill would be about 250,000. HE NEVER PAID A DIME. Like any other business the cost of THEFT is added to the price the people that do pay have to pay.

At the time this happened, I was paying roughly 14,000 a year for healthcare insurance for my wife and I.

OBAMACARE is already FAILING, the insurance companies have found they are loosing millions at the price our DICTATORIAL GOVERNMENT says they can charge. They are refusing to write the policies. Obamacare, must and it will turn into a single payer system and the payer will be the AMERICAN TAXPAYER.
I also pay $14,000 a year for a high deductable policy through Florida Blue? How should the ridiculous cost of health care be dealt with? Can we refuse care to people who have no insurance and cannot afford it? It is very easy to say they are lazy and should get a job but that is often not the case. This forum has a great number of Trump like opinions but none that address the real problem with health care, too many people get it for little or nothing and are not concerned with cost. I was one of those people until the manufacturing plant I worked at shutdown after I'd be there for 38 years. My promised early retirement and continued health coverage gone. The problem with health care cost is not illegals.
