If our health care system is not broken then why are they the cause of so many family bankrupcies?  “More than 75 percent of these bankrupt families had health insurance…”  So even when you think you are protected with health insurance your still so close to being bankrupt because of a hospital visit.  Like I said before, we need to keep people healthy with low-cost insurance to insure they don’t end up in the ER because they lack basic care.

Insured paid for the uninsured.

Guess who pays for the uninsured?  You.  That’s right, the uninsured cost hospitals millions of dollars every year and they pass those cost onto to you.  You pay a hidden tax over $1000 to help pay for those cost.  This is excatly why we need some kind of universal health care.
