But on a more serious note, he's not wrong! People can't be turned away from "Community" hospitals if they have an emergency. (Private, FOR PROFIT institutions may not have the same requirements). That was the whole reason for the ACA - make affordable health care available to EVERYONE. People wouldn't have to use the Emergency Room as their primary care facility, hospitals wouldn't have to overcharge patients WITH insurance to make up the non-insured shortfalls (no more $4 band-aids or $20 aspirin) and insurance companies wouldn't be able to dictate what treatment a patient received based on a billing schedule - it would decided by a health care professional and her or his patient. Costs go down for EVERYONE!
Healthcare in this country is all about "profits". Insurance companies (and hospital corporations) have stock holders and CEO's to satisfy, and that takes money. Check the financials on your insurance company to see where YOUR premiums go.
While it's obvious that the phrase "We're in This Together" is misinterpreted by some people, hopefully most of us will come out of this - eventually.
