by law, hospitals MUST accept patients that present themselves..

That's the issue - forced to cover, but it's essentially wrong to force people to have coverage. This is the central hypocrisy of our age.

A true libertarian would call the motorcycle enthusiast with no health care what he should be - an organ donor.

In today's America - that idiot can choose not to buy healthcare - but the medical community is forced to cover him.

I completely understand the constitutional argument against requiring health care insurance, but completely disagree with placing the medical community under the gun to support the uninsured. It is an unfunded mandate that we then use to critique medical providers who must charge outrageous prices to the insured and wealthy. In every sense it is another tax we ants pay to support the grasshoppers of our world.
