Matter of fact they don't even ask you about payment until whatever necessary service have been provided. I have been there twice in the last three months. I know.

It is on a big sign when you walk in the door and always has been.



That left wing BS that people were dying in the street before Obamacare is the largest whopper ever stuck on the American people.


And when they treat someone who cannot pay the bill, just what do you think happens?

Once you figure that out.... you will understand one of the flaws in that system.

Weren't you a bean-counter for GAO before you retired, Bob?

No counting of beans for me. Retired as a senior defense analyst.

It is just gets figured in to the cost for services charged to people who do pay.

Not sure how you think that is any different than just gouging the middle class for the same result up front.

Like you think the costs have come down after Obamacare or something.

The bill is 100% about not making the 1%ers pay even so much as 1% of the costs, nothing more, nothing less. Look at it, that is all it does, even a blind man can see that.

And let's not forget that all the members of Congress and the Senate have tax payer funded healthcare, probably a premium plan.
