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.)

You know that is not the point. If you find one good reason to make an exception to the power of the government, no matter how good that reason is, you need to make sure you fully understand the fallout.

Also, “the loyal opposition” is a very important (maybe critical) part of democracy. You think you are right? You have to convince a lot of people.
