Not to mention all the ER's in the Southwest that were shut down due to illegal immigrants using them for all of their medical care, as advised by activists, and letting the government pick up the tab. And P.S., everyone's premiums and deductibles went up under Obamacare to subsidize the poor and to cover preexisting conditions.It exploded when hospitals were getting stiffed with unpaid bills saw their charity reserves exhausted and had to raise rates to compensate and pass it it off to health insurers and their subscribers. Then again, non profit public hospitals cannot by means of their license and charter refuse treatment on the basis of a patients inability to pay. Obamacare had many objectives. Among them was preventative care and the elimination of low premium near zero coverage policies and returning ER's to just that ER's Not the trauma centers they were becoming due to very sick people coming in with a host of conditions that could have been easily and cheaply treated through preventative care.
