We did subsidize health care previously thru the emergency room and our health care premiums did reflect that except that, IMHO, the subsidization part of the bill wasn't made apparent for most people. You are confusing two different things here. The emergency room wasn't the healthy subsidizing the unhealthy; it was the insured subsidizing the uninsured. OK--I think we are saying the basically the same thing here using different terminology. I note that you did not reply at all to that part of my post. That is something that people should be totally outraged about. Whether one is outraged or not is a value judgment which differs from person to person and probably depends on whether their insurance rates are going up or down under the AFCA--given the nature of people.
