First of all in the US people that have no health coverage and are poor don't get denied treatment. If a patient comes into the emergency room with a major wound or with a life threatening issue with no insurance the nurses and doctors are not just going to say, "Oh well you can't pay so your screwed. I guess you are just going to have to die!" No hospital is going to refuse care to someone in an emergency situation. They will get treatment. Most of the time in many hospitals those bills get written off. You also forget the US has a system called medicaid which a lot of low income families are on. That is funded by tax payer dollars. So in all actuallity with the free market system of the US the more wealthy people are already providing the healthcare for low income families and individuals through taxes. So your entire premise in the poll is incorrect when discussing this about the US. |
You could not be more misinformed. Please watch Sicko and come back and say what you just said.
