"Dupree said he would advise uninsured patients to see a doctor immediately if they knew they were unwell no matter how near their 65th birthday might be. He said the hospital would have operated on Evelyn regardless of her insurance status, but added he did not know whether doing so would have cost her more money." This paragraph explains precisely what is wrong with Obamacare. Under Obamcare, this poor woman would not have had insurance, either -- because she would be better off just to pay the penalty tax, a mere fraction of the cost. When she found out she was sick, she would have promptly enrolled with the best health insurance in the land, because (a) it is now her top priority but it wasn't until she found out she was sick, and (b) she cannot be turned down by the insurance company due to her preexisting condition. So, she has successfully escaped paying premiums while she was healthy, and will jump on board with insurance ONLY after she becomes sick and needs huge benefits. And you say this law isn't designed to break the insurance industry? Where is the individual responsibility we've heard so much about?
