[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyon's premiums with employer based health insurance has doubled to tripled. I'm tired of paying for complete strangers. The whole HC system has been hijacked to an income redistribution scheme.[/quote]

Requiring single men to buy health insurance coverage that covers maternity and obstetric care.

Total redistribution scheme.

All individual and small employer insurance plans, including those you get through the Marketplace, must cover maternity and newborn care.

Ridiculous.

Yep.  And they cover Viagra.  And you pay for the public schools.  Meanwhile, I pay for healthy foods and a gym membership and my premiums cover other people's diabetes.  Oh well.  Welcome to the community!  [/quote]

Health insurance should be based upon each individual’s health needs.

Per usual, democrats expose themselves.

Obamacare is income redistribution.[/quote]

It isn’t income redistribution moron. It’s pooled risk! This is the foundation of insurance.[/quote]

Insurance you are forced to buy, by the fed gov.[/quote]

Yes because if you don’t buy health insurance and need services, you are driving up the costs for others. If everyone is insured the pool of risk is larger and costs should be controlled but because it is a for-profit system, insurance must pay large executive compensation packages and shareholders.

Thus, why illegal immigration has destroyed our healthcare system.

Illegal aliens get healthcare at the ER, don’t pay, and the healthcare systems raise prices on those of us that are insured. [/quote]

If you are going to post lies, at least have the courtesy to lost links to statistics that show what you are lying about is true.

Don't have any statistics, legitimate ones, that is? Then STFU.

A growing number of states are opening taxpayer-funded health insurance programs to immigrants, including those living in the U.S. without authorization, even as Republicans assail President Joe Biden over a dramatic increase in illegal crossings of the southern border.

Eleven states and Washington, D.C., together provide full health insurance coverage to more than 1 million low-income immigrants regardless of their legal status, according to state data compiled by KFF Health News. Most aren't authorized to live in the U.S., state officials say.

Under the federal Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA), hospitals that have emergency departments and participate in Medicare — about 98% of hospitals in the United States — must provide emergency care to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.

So illegal immigrants go to ER departments and receive medical care. They aren’t insured and can’t pay.

Do you have legitimate stats showing illegal immigrants don’t use ER departments?
