That argument is always weak because you can go to an ER at anytime, and if you have “no money” you qualify for AHCCCS here in Arizona, and the benefits have been extended to 4 times the poverty rate, so basically it’s almost impossible not to get healthcare in AZ.

Sure you can go to the ER, but why would we want people to do that?
That costs all of us money.
It is costing this country so much money.

That’s nice for folks in AZ….BUT it is not just “poor people”.
Lots of people have health insurance and still do not get their health care needs seen to because they can not afford the deductible.
They just don’t have the money for an office visit or the tests their Doctor says they need to see if that PSA is right and they might have cancer or to pay for the only prescription that works to keep their blood pressure down.
