That is not how it is now.Most of the people who end up in the ER (and not everyone does) end up paying for it themselves when the hospital bills them.Only a few of those who end up in the ER do not pay for it themselves. Some of them get enrolled on public aid because they cannot pay and some of them defraud the system by not paying though they could. We could eliminate that today by not allowing bankruptcy to let you get out of paying for your medical bills.Even if we continue with the bankruptcy laws as they are this is still far far better than forcing all Americans to buy a product they may not want or need and the resulting rise in costs that happened with romneycare and is already happening with obamacare. Additionally, if you really do not want to pay for someone else's bankruptcy then just go to doctors who turn these people away (which they are allowed to do if they do not collect federal funds). I am fine with the hospitals attempting to get as many people as possible to pay their bills and then passing on the loss to the rest of us - that is exactly how every other business in this country operates when it comes to those who refuse to pay their bills.
