That was pretty much my point. The hospitals will first bill the uninsured patient, and will no doubt turn them over to collections while they are scrambling to get a policy, (that could take months to become active), but the "undocumented" individual (who has no intention of paying anyway) will get their free health care as usual, and policy holders will continue to see their costs rise.

Obamacare doesn't solve that problem at all.
