Let me ask you this hypothetical question. A healthy 30-year old man, has a good job, makes a good living, but decides, 'you know what? I'm not going to spend two hundred or three hundred dollars a month for health insurance... I don't need it, I'm healthy'... But okay, nevermind the details. He gets sick, and we'll assume he's poor. Now what? Well we aren't going to let him die. If he dies, it's going to be because the doctors let him die. It's going to be because the doctors decided, 'you know, this guy can't pay me, fuck him.' And in my opinion, any doctor who would say that deserves whatever he gets as a consequence. But you, you don't feel that way. No, you accept that as perfectly reasonable. Who in their right mind would treat someone for free! As Blitzer, too, pointedly asks, "Who's going to pay?" That's the only issue you and Blitzer are worried about: ...but you know, something terrible happens, all of a sudden he needs it. Who's going to pay? I think it was a question with an escape hatch built in. Reality for a while here? You think that there are a lot of 30 year old guys (with or without ObamaCare existing ... there's a sizable period of time to sample prior to it) that are/ were/will show up in the emergency room or doctors office with no health insurance? It might have been more realistic if they described a guy with two or three kids who makes $8 an hour and can't afford the $600.00 to $1,200.00 health care costs (right now, no shit) becomes faced with the same dilema. It doesn't make the Hearty "YEAH!" you could hear any less dark.
