coleman translated: acceptance of the con's view of reality is next to nil.

Actually, it IS nil.  It's exactly nil. Because it's exactly rejected.

My knowledge of the hospitals' side of the story is more to the point.  Hospitals are prohibited from turning anyone away from the ER on basis of ability to pay because it's an emergency room. Hospitals won't go broke handing out free ER treatment and thus cover their costs by billing the people who are able to cover operating costs....known as "transfer of wealth". People who are insured are already paying for it, and it's not called a "tax" because it's not the government who's picking your pockets to cover the uninsured--it's the hospital and insurance system taxing you for that.

Unelected health care providers are already taxing you and taxing you big even though they have no legal ability to levy taxes.  Now then--the choice boils down to whether you prefer to have your pockets cleaned out by the insurers who cover the hospitals which pick their pockets, or do you prefer an actual tax at a lower rate.

OK, adding 30 million non-paying customers to the system will bend the cost curve down.  That's what O claimed and, after all, he's The One.
