The point I was making is NOBODY, NO AMERICAN, that's paid taxes and premiums, should be afraid to go to a doctor because they don't have insurance. I make good money, and I pay very high percentage of it in taxes and premiums, and I have seen first hand immigrants and Koreans go to the ER, then skip to their country and not pay another dime. The healthcare industry and healthcare insurance industry is not hurting for money either way. That's the point I made.

Your inference that one should not pay his or her bill is insulting. I don't know what you do, but I'd very much like to be a consumer of said good or service so that I can obtain it for free. I mean, it works for healthcare, right?
