No; the size of this problem is vastly overstated. There are only about 10-15M (<5%) people in this category. Non starter...back to jail, don't pass go, don't collect $200. Al

> .but no coverage for the uninsured? No; the size of this problem is vastly overstated. There are only about 10-15M (<5%) people in this category. The 500 primary care clinics should be able to provide care for these people. If they need hospital care, they would continue to use the county hospital system which functions quite well in this regard. At the same time, county hospitals would receive massive relief by not having to see patients who present with non-emergency situations. You are FOS. There are 47 million people without health insurance. I have health insurance at the present time but can't afford dental insurance.......and to make my health insurance affordable, I have a 10k deductible. 62% of our personal BK have to do with a health debt that people can't pay. American health system works only for people who are well off or have health insurance provided by their employer.
