You seem to be completely hung up on the word entitlement. No called something else you would still have a problem. If those getting subsidies are paying a portion of the cost of health care that they would otherwise get at the emergency room for free - because they have so little money - isn't that a move in the right direction? I'll break that down in to different parts. 1 - Moving away from using the emergency room because now they have insurance and can get care outside of emergency care. That would be a move in the right direction, but it doesn't seem to have happened that much. 2 - Having the emergency room care paid for by insurance. That would be good for the financial security of those getting the care, and to a lesser extent for the hospital's emergency services, for them its a move in the right direction. But increasing the entitlement burden, or to avoid the word because you think I'm so hung up on it increasing the amount of spending promised by law that doesn't have to be reauthorized each year and which is considered the legal right of the recipient, or more generally just increasing government spending, is a move in the wrong direction.
