The fact that insurance companies were taking us to the cleaners and also the fact that we were having to pay for those who chose to just use the ER and leave us hanging to pay for it, that's what created the need for the federal government to control healthcare costs.
Nobody is "taking you to the cleaners". If you don't like what a hospital charges [MENTION=43625]Mertex[/MENTION], you have the choice not to employ their services.
What's the alternative - die? Oh yeah, I forgot another of the Republican's health care plan. "Don't get sick, and if you do, hurry up and die"!
The alternative is you provide "affordable healthcare" since you're the one who pretends to "care" so much. Open your own hospital [MENTION=43625]Mertex[/MENTION] and offer your services for free to those who don't have any money and at a reduced rate to those who have little money.
See how simple that is? And - gasp! - unlike the Dumbocrat "plan" (and I use that term loosely), it's also Constitutional!
The fact that you won't do this though is evidence that you're a greedy, selfish asshole who doesn't give a damn about those in need out there. This is all about you fleecing your fellow citizens further for free shit.
