Healthcare systems like the one employing BamaAtl don't really give a rat's arse about the amount or affordability of your deductible. If d/t owed deductible you default, declare bankruptcy, lose your child's college fund, they don't care.


More people withOUT health insurance report that they're not able to seek care because of the cost than those WITH insurance. The more people insured, the better care they can receive.

And my system delivered >$70M of charity care just last year. You should know better than to imply that it's some money-grab, but of course you don't.

bullshite!

First off, one can ""seek care"" in any number of inexpensive venues, e.g., free advise at a pharmacy. But you no doubt misspoke.

Secondly, do Emory Healthcare ER's kick "unworthies" out due to inability to pay?

So "your system", a ""non-profit"", lost >$70M last year?
Really?

What were Emory Healthcare revenues "just last year"?

what is it that prevents you from understanding that healthcare and health insurance are completely separate?

Insurance is just a way to fund healthcare costs.

Then there should be no justification for an individual mandate.
