re: #7 Buck

Workers must pay it… get it? Not everyone by the simple virtue of a pulse, but workers.

Car owners have to buy insurance. Don’t want to buy car insurance? You can avoid it by not owning a car.

There is a simple solution to this problem. Hospitals should be told that they MUST NOT treat anyone who doesn’t have insurance or cash up front, and the government will allocate no funds for the same.

(The “must not” order is to make sure that they don’t just increase fees to cover this, thereby mandating that everyone else pay for the uninsured.)
