<<<< Either treatment that's billed but the bills are never collected, or direct charity payments for the care.>>>> Right! And so who pays for that? YOU DO! Whether in increased cost at the hospital level because the hospitals have to charge you more to pay for their charity cases - or increased taxes to pay when the government steps in. But nooooooooo, you guys don't want people to HAVE to pay because that's unconstitutional. <<<<<They also would pretty much all get uncompensated third party care >>>> Absolutely incorrect! The idea - originally a republican one - was to get all people to be responsible for their own cost by having to have insurance. If you have insurance the care is no longer uncompensated!
