Why is that the taxpayer's problem?
Because these people will end up in emergency for small stuff and we will pay for it at a higher rate.
nope....they don't admit for "small stuff"
and the bigger issues are absorbed regardless...
you really don't understand how the poor are not going to pay either the tax penalty or the cost of admission, do you?
you can't squeeze your arse tight enough to constrict that drivel.....
What I mean by small stuff is stuff that could have been prevented with an office visit. When you don't have insurance, you let the small stuff get bigger until you end up in the ER.
They are still going to the ER, usually by ambulance, for small stuff. Insurance doesn't make people less lazy.
Case in point....we were dispatched at Oh-God-30 one Wednesday morning for an unknown medical complaint to one of our many Section 8 apartment complexes. We get there to find a Welfare Queen complaining of a toothache. We asked when it started and she said "Sunday." I could instantly tell my Captain was pissed, but didn't know why. EMS comes and transports her to the ER, we clear the scene. On the way back to the barn I asked him what pissed him off. He said "She had a toothache since Sunday but was too lazy to walk across the street to the free clinic that was open Monday and Tuesday."
You want more stories like that because after 20+ years working where I worked I have a truckload of them.
RE: Cruz: "Trump voters are low information, angry voters.
The whole GOP party seems to be degenerating into name calling over not getting their way. They don't seem to understand that the more insults they hurl at Trump's supporters the more people will go to Trump's tent.

it's about goddammed time an outsider with a clue had a shot.....I would have backed both pauls and johnson if it mattered....
again, I will reiterate, I think the donald is a loon too....
but he's the best choice by a landslide....
keep paying attention.....you'll warm up to him one way or the other....or you can grab a shovel and start burying yourself along with your children...
the whole goddammed movement is about status quo politics......and if one doesn't see that, then see lines 1 and 4....sincerely, the donald....

I'm sure some people are like that because they have to be taught how to use healthcare. If you've never had it before, how are you supposed to know how to use it?

This was pre-Obamacare, but I feel sure she's probably living in the same apartment and would still call 911 to get the boo-boo box for non-emergency medical complaints.
A lot of it is the urban myth that if you go in by ambulance you don't have to wait to be seen. Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.....when it's a BS case they make it a point to tell the ER that the patient can be triaged in the radio report enroute to the hospital. I used to love when I either did driver back-up or after I got promoted we went to pick our crew member up who drove the unit in and listen to the EMS abusers complain about getting taken off the Ferno, put in a wheel chair and rolled out to the waiting room.
