It involves going to an emergency room and stiffing the hospital for the bill, and as they really can't refuse you…. well that's free health care.
Now I think that's a B.S. system and if someone were to come up with a "better" system I'd be all for it. Key word is better. The present system has fraud and waste oozing from every bed. We have Doctors who play the system, we have HMO's pulling money out, ridiculous mal-practice insurance rates, ridiculous coverage issues and on and on. The idea that we will just add on more care and throw more money at this system without reforming it unthinkable. Unless you just really want it. Hillary wants her universal health care but she really hasn't earned it. Earning it would require fixing some of the problems noted. We may get it anyway and I while Hillary and her followers will have something they really want, I doubt it will result in anything the good people of America deserve.
