That Didn't Take Long: Insurance Industry Breaks Promise To President Obama

This is where universal health care takes over. People with no coverage can't get preventative care and can't walk in for non-emergencies unless they have insurance or cash. Instead they wait until it becomes a far more costly emergency because that is the only option remaining for the uninsured.



Then the taxpayer picks up the tab. Better to have universal care so the taxpayer's tab can be reduced by covering preventative care and routine checkups etc. before they become emergencies. This is truly where the saying an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" applies. Doesn't it make more sense to pay $100 for a checkup and $30 for medication than to pay $5,000 for a trip to the emergency room later?



We are being stupid by placing barriers to better health only to have to pay the higher costs of failed health care later.
