You're wrong then, buddy.
My own mother, when she was working with an abstract company, needed an operation for her breast cancer. Her employer's health care provider refused to pay for it.

Sorry, Doc, but that's not a plan. Running on charities is not stopping people from dying, and we both know that if everyone who didn't have insurance turned to charities, they'd be dried up in a second.
You're not facing reality. Is your plan to "stop people from dying"?? Because, if that's your objective, you're going to be sorely disappointed until the day you yourself die, regardless of your utopian healthcare fantasies. Socialized healthcare is NOT going to stop people from dying.
Don't give me a bunch of socialist propaganda about "people dying because they can't get healthcare."

We don't make laws, so we can't not allow it. The government does make laws though, and they do make laws in regards to what providers can bill them (Medicare, Medicaid plans). That's why providers hate government plans.
We don't force anybody to do anything, we are very clear in all our dealings that we do not make treatment decisions, those are made between patients and their doctors.
Not at all, unless you mean they regulate it indirectly in that many hospitals won't admit somebody without insurance or somebody with government insurance.

This would be the 'tens of millions of Americans' who have adequate health care coverage. It is not the opinion of the 'hundreds of millions of Americans who do not.
