I'll choose #3) False Premise
The only way it is a false premise is if we don't admit people to the ER or turn hospitals into collection agencies.
Feel free to argue those points.
I prefer my tax dollars being used to support those that use the ER, than for the government to decide that I have insurance for things I do not need.
I accept my responsibility as an American citizen to have my tax dollars help those in need.
And I will go one step farther...I do not recall ANYONE campaigning to have "free ER care" eliminated.
So you choose #2?
People did campaign on the fact that ER care is costly and the nation would save money if less people used the ER like they were their GP. This is a problem that is tied to insurance coverage but also goes beyond that as a lot of people still just go to the ER when they are on Medicaid.
