[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1076984, member: 43436"] One of the reasons hospital bills are so high is that paying patients are paying for a portion of nonpaying patient's bills. [B]Theoretically[/B], if everybody had insurance, individual hospital bills would drop & thus what insurances are paying overall would either decrease, stay the same or slightly increase. But really, nobody knows how this will play out -- they're just guessing. But to be against health care reform is just silly. ANY OF US could be in position of being uninsured soon -- job termination, unable to work for whatever reason, etc. *@$% and moan all you want about ObamaCare, but see how good the current system is when you have no insurance, and are told "no, you're uninsurable" or quoted $1,000/month premiums when you attempt to get it. I certainly don't agree wholly with ObamaCare, but I recognize the need for health care reform in this country. [B]Any type of insurance is a socialist idea. [/B]Access to affordable health care should be a fundamental right. [/QUOTE]
