I've heard it SOOOOOOO much it makes me sick.
The magic line of the anti-Healthcare advocates is:
"There's not a Hospital in the USA that will turn you away if you need treatment"
That's SUCH a bunch of crap. They may not turn you away but what they WILL do is stalk, harass and torment you to receive payment.
If you and your family are uninsured, a broken arm sustained by your 10 year old son falling off a tree will cost about $30,000.
If you can't pull $30,000 out of your pocket you will be forced into Bankruptcy by the Hospitals collection agency.

1. They are just parroting Limbaugh...and they are right: you will get treatment |
|
Then you have to go into hock just to pay the f***ers...the part Rush leaves out.

2. Good point. An ER can't turn you away, but they can sure as heck |
|
sic the collection agencies on you and/or garnish your wages.

caller:
hospital will take all your $$ and your house if you can't afford the treatment although they won't turn you away

drive a truck

No children?
YOur job gives no healthcare?
caller:
It does, but I have pre-existing conditions so it's really expensive and I can't afford to add my wife.
cheerleader boy:
whats the condition?
caller:
I was in an auto accident, internal injuries
cheerleader boy:
Doesn't sound that severe
I'm sensitive to your condition, I've been there in my life.
Why wouldn't you support a free market solution, med savings acct?
caller:
I've thought about this a lot, but what if I lose my job and can't afford it?
cheerleader boy:
I doubt you will lose your job or could find a new one. Why don't you want a med sving acct?
caller:
If I could afford it I would.
I'm trying to go to college also to benefit my family
cheerleader boy:
You sound like you're looking for excuses to not afford it, can't you drive a truck 5 days a week and go to college on the weekends?
If you really want to acheive a goal you'll find a solution.
I find it mysterious that people put their faith in government programs
END CALL
