Adak, do you re-write your posts each time like this,
or do you copy/paste from some where ?
If you wish, you could just insert a link. Here it is it for your post above.

Likewise, I'll just insert a link for my response,
like this.

OK, now back for the reason the GOP caused this government shutdown... Obamacare.
Quote:
<snip>Since every person will be treated in any emergency room,
with or without money, your argument is mostly false.
Clearly, lots of people don't get the kind of regular medical exams, etc.,
that would benefit them, however.
I agree that we need a better health care plan in the country.
But I don't want the feds running it.
Strangely enough, I'd like doctors, hospital managers,
and medical insurance experts running our health plan.

Lets quibble a bit....
As examples:
NIH is a federal facility that is treating (some) patients as part of health research projects.
VA hospitals are federal facilities around the country that are treating veterans.
Who do you feel should run these... for-profit corporations ?
As alternative examples:
With Obamacare,
anyone can sign up for A.C.A. plans of health care coverage.
All of their care will come via existing hospitals and doctors,
managed by hospital managers in health care plans created
by medical insurance experts ... not as part of the federal facilities system.
Then reimbursement $ comes
from that plan's health insurance provider.
In some situations, patients who qualify for Medicare and/or Medicaid
(and/or perhaps some other federal programs) will also be treated
in these same non-federal system hospitals, but
reimbursement $
comes from the federal government.
How does Obamacare NOT fit you "likes" ?
