re: We're not communicating. I'm talking about the poor.

Which was the point I made. I'm talking about the working poor. You seem to think that the homeless are a huge demographic. The uninsured working poor are significant, and they have a lot to lose when they have to go to an emergency room. And they are the folks that have assets or wages that will be put in jeopardy in any type of emergency... at a huge premium to the "wholesale price" of treatment.

re: The poor can easily declare bankruptcy. I know or at least two people who have done so more than once. They have nothing to lose by doing so.

You don't have a clue, do you? Look at the bankruptcy law passed in 2005: bankruptcy.findlaw.com
