Unelected health care providers are already taxing you and taxing you big even though they have no legal ability to levy taxes.
Yes; they are virtual taxing arm of the government because as you said:
Hospitals are prohibited from turning anyone away from the ER on basis of ability to pay because it's an emergency room.
Which is the real source of the problem. If hospitals weren't forced by law to perform services for patients who won't pay then their costs would or could be lower.
So right to lifers don't believe in a right to life, huh. Just what I figured.
Here's the deal, though. People who die due to lack of medical treatment gives you corpses that the government has to bury and can't tax anymore, which means that cons are in favor of the U.S. becoming a banana republic. Yeah, I know.
But we're coming full circle to Typhoid Mary here. One corpse in the street that died from something contagious is a public threat, even to the insured.
