You're right. I can't get you to act intelligently and share some tax money to help sick people all as a way to reduce costs later because those people don't have to default on emergency room visits.

You only want to cut out the middle man.
And just line Hospital,doctors,nurse,lawyers pockets.
I wonder who they vote for. This SNIP is as transparent as it gets.
Cost up front works for people to know what they are paying for it, but when a person can not afford the cost that is another issue.
I'd rather pay them very well for their services than pay the middle man for doing nothing more than organizing a scam.

This is all relevant. I'm trying to point out how much more you could save by supporting single payer versus letting the uninsured just go to the emergency room even IF you are a callous SOB like you claim.
Unwind medicare, and medicaid to the private sector to where they RIGHTFULLY belong.
The addition of over 120 million people back in to the private sector would do WONDERS reducing the cost of care since the pool as been returned to where it belonged to begin with.
Want to take a bite out of the free market ?
GOD I love 'liberal' math.
