You need a link? LOl. You really are a big time abstraction. Just try calling up a doctor's office for an appointment and tell them you have no insurance and can't afford to pay and see if you get an appointment. Humana is always telling me if I don't pay my premium, my insurance will be dropped. I have called many a doctor over the past 45 years who wouldn't take my private insurance and they told me that if I don't pay the fee up front, I can't make an appointment.

Here Bozo, you asked me: "where’s your link that proves people are refused care because they cannot afford it". You need a link? I gave you the NY Post Article which documents that 1 in 4 people refuse medical care because they can't afford it. nypost.com Why do 1 in 4 people refuse to go to doctors because they can't afford it? Answer because The Doctors don't care. No payola no treatment. The Physicians can and do turn away patients if the don't get paid to their satisfaction. You are either naive or plain dumb. But the answer to your question is in the doctor's refusal to see patients who cannot afford their service. Physicians are entitled to do that. They can say no, I don't want to treat you.
