These dim bulb legislators assume if folks don't have insurance they won't seek care. Reality is they may delay for awhile but then frequently present at ERs who must treat them by law and are usually more critically ill requiring higher cost care the hospitals won't get paid for. Really short sighted...but then they are Repuglicans...what's new?
