Re: <Just one dude coming in with his brain and body mangled up from an auto wreck and easily run up costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.< "And to just think... All that agony and money could have been saved if the "dude" had health insurance and had obtained "preventative check-ups" at a GP doctor." You are being factitious. No one is saying that 'auto accidents would not happen' if more people had health insurance. What I (and the Hoover Institute and Brookings who first proposed this idea that the Republicans once pushed hard) are saying is that we would not have SO MUCH of the cost of said accidents-to-the-uninsured passed on to responsible folks (who already had insurance) and to hospitals and to the taxpayers.
