Who do you think PAYS for the care of the uninsured when they run up
bills in the hundreds of thousands of dollars?? Hospital bills are
often written OFF as uncollectable, and in county/city hospitals they
are subsidised/funded by your taxes

Also, if un-insured, there may be NO rehab as many/most of the rehab
centers will NOT admit you without a payment means, so we get someone
with a non-functioning hand who may often be a tax burden in many
cases

Or if NOT insured, think what it is doing to the local taxes in the

Or his insurance company is. Think what that does to YOUR medical insurance
premiums.

Huh? How is tax money involved?
