Nobody is refused health care in the US, now. It's the law.

Yes - we pay the world's prescription drug R&D costs.
But people ARE refused care. Go ahead - try to get chemo and radiation therapy for leukemia without health insurance (like after your insurance company kicked you off).
If nobody is refused health care, why did we just have to pass a bill to cover the 9/11 responders?
Are you aware of what "dumping" is? That's when a hospital "transfers" an indigent somewhere else without treating them. I learned about that in the 1980s when other hspitals used to dump some of their patients to the hospital where I worked (Boston's Beth Israel).
