They just can't seem to understand that it provides premium subsidies in the form of tax credits nor can they understand the fact that the days of simply walking out the door and stiffing the hospital with the bill are long gone. And seems too that they just cannot understand that one of the biggest drivers of healthcare costs are unpaid bills which have to be recouped and the only way it can be recovered is through jacked up fees for services.One of the cruelest  lies the conservatives ever perpetrated  on the American people was the one that said that all you have to do is to pay the fine and you'll get insurance. Some people to their later regret believed it.</blockquote>
