NOTHING Republicans have proposed would do that! NOTHING the GOP has proposed is INTENDED to do that! And your posts indicate that YOU don’t WANT to do that!

There are TWO problems with pretending we can have a decent health care system for rich people and the top half of the middle class and nothing at all for “the 47%.”

ONE we’ve experienced for 30 or 40 years now: doctors and hospitals WILL provide at least SOME care for the people YOU don’t care about, and WILL raise YOUR insurance costs to pick up at least SOME reimbursement for that “free” care.

But the SECOND problem — the epidemiological problem — is MUCH more serious. Despite all we do to construct “bubbles,” we share the same country — and streets and schools and malls and movie theaters and fast-food joints and airports and playgrounds and even places of worship.

So you can PRETEND that it doesn’t matter to “productive” Americans whether “unproductive” Americans have ACCESS to at least a minimal level of health care….until the day your child or grandchild contracts an illness or infection by coming into contact with “those people” or something “those people” touched!

You CAN’T really live in a bubble, and whining about the cost of caring for your fellow citizens guarantees that your OWN loved ones are going to suffer the medical consequences of your selfishness!

As to universal coverage: there are many conservative pundits who recognize the value of universal coverage. They will be the ones who participate in reforming and improving Obamacare. Neandrathals conservatives will be left on the scrap heap of history.

And as to your tirade on EMTALA, what specifically do you want to fix? And how are you going to fix it without gov regulations? Are you suggesting that emergency rooms not be required to treat injured people?

From http://www.emtala.com/faq.htm
“The essential provisions of the statute are as follows:

Any patient who comes to the emergency department requesting examination or treatment for a medical condition must be provided with an appropriate medical screening examination to determine if he is suffering from an emergency medical condition.

If he is, then the hospital is obligated to either provide him with treatment until he is stable or to transfer him to another hospital in conformance with the statute’s directives.”

Fix or end EMTALA.
