Just happened upon this thread.

FYI we are ALREADY paying for those who have no insurance.   That is why
medical expenses are so over inflated now.   Poor and non-paying,
non-insured people get medical care just like those who have insurance.

Our insurance premiums are higher than they should be, and our medical
expenses are higher than they should be.... it is necessary in order to pay
for those who don't have insurance.

Better it should be upfront and honest and available to everybody.
