[QUOTE="klein, post: 655364, member: 23950"] Well, here is a true story, that just happened in the last 2 months. My second cousin, Frank, a 20 yr old, overdosed on drugs in the lower Keys in Florida. Hey got flown to Maimi, and actually clinically died twice. They fixed him all up. He had no health insurance. And is no big deal. The bill of $1.2 Million goes to tax payers. He is still not working. Jobs are very rare in Fl these days. He gets by now living of his parents, and grand parents. He does hope to get some sort of job soon. But, trust me, I was there, no help wanted signs anywhere. He is a good kid. Just hit a bad turn in life. And he has been clean since, and hopefully stays that way. But, now the question : Is it fair tax payers need to pay for him ? Or would it be fairer if National Healthcare, (in place), and which he also pays into, pays for it ? [/QUOTE]
