The thing is, UT, that the insured of this country ARE paying for the uninsured. The homeless have heartattacks - and get coronary bypass surgery - as well as their broken bones set, psych visits and meds, all of it. Someone is paying for this ---- and it's the gainfully employed and insured of this country. It's like dept. stores passing along the cost of shoplifting loss to the buyer. Why not try to even things out and give the uninsured some less expensive pre-emptive care instead of paying for that big heart surgery?
