The law in every state is YOU are responsible for ALL of your health care bills. YOU have to pay them.
The relationship between you and your insurance company HAS NOTHING to do with the relationship between you and ALL health care providers regardless of what financial arrangement insurers have with medical providers. If you have health insurance that does not mean YOU are not responsible for 100% of all of the health care bills you run up. Your agreement with your health insurance company is 100% separate from your agreement with health care providers and each are a third NON party to each other in all financial agreements, arrangements and contracts.
Too bad Democrats and most Republicans do not know this.
What you are trying desperately to ignore is emergency room and urgent care treatment and medical bankruptcy. The two things that allow people to avoid responsibility for their own healthcare costs. That allow them to get others to pay their bills.
ACA does nothing to address that or stop those that go there now.
You are the one ignoring that fact.
Tens of millions will STILL be uninsured and going there 10 years from now ACA or not.
You have this pipe dream that ACA changes people's behavior.
Show me where ONE, JUST ONE government program has changed the behavior of citizens.
Every law changes people's behavior by placing undesirable consequences on the behavior that it makes illegal.
Same with ACA. If you're an irresponsible person who'd just as soon let others pay for your healthcare should medical attention be needed, there are now financial consequences.
Conservatives are so afraid of personal responsibility that they've wasted five years of time, energy and money fighting it with every dirty trick in politics.
But, they failed.
