That's one (of many) problems I have with the way our president
characterizes those without insurance. He claims those without insurance
don't pay their bills - actually, there's a large part of the pop who don't
have insurance who do pay their bills when they need care. Thomas Sowell
wrote about having one of his children when he did not have insurance. It
was too much to pay in one lump so he paid installments - his comment to his
wife when the final payment was made was "he's all ours now - we own him
free and clear." or something very close to that.
I remember as a child going to the doctor or dentist and my parents wrote a
check for the bill - or part of it. I suspect a lot of those people who
think they are healthy enough not to need insurance also pay their doctors
bills. and some even have the foresight to buy catastrophic insurance
should they be in the hospital for a week. So they are not technically
insured, they are not part of the problem. There's also a lot of people who
don't seem to get sick often.
Anyway - Loren is right - if everyone paid their way here wouldn't be a
problem.
Have a nice day -

Amen, and this discussion would NOT come up if everyone paid their own
bills, instead of expecting Nanny to do it for them. This country was
created by REAL MEN and WOMEN, not the bunch of whining wimps that inhabit
the country now.
If YOU expect ME to pay YOUR bills, then I have a RIGHT to say Pull the
plug! Or: DNR for Bikers with out helmets or drivers without seatbelts.
Yes it is WRONG. But that is what happens when YOU expect ME to pay YOUR
bills because you got the Gummit to steal my money That is WRONG, and it
IS unconstitutional.

With what? Assisted "suicide"?
I think our nation's founders had a better idea:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life ...
