If you cannot pay or make other arrangements.

More likely the opposite. They will go to the emergency room with the lingering stages of a cold.

The government is the people. Do you not see why your theory never works?

Arguably a pandemic that might kill millions of people qualifies as an emergency condition... If they would fight an invasion of reds why not an invasion of bugs?
The bigger issue is that propagandizing to the masses depends on the masses accepting your message. If they can double check and realize you're lying, then your message is toast. The Democrats are trying to unseat Trump and spreading lies to that end.

I just bought Charles Murray's latest book--to be honest, the latest audiobook. He's blowing apart the notion that men and women are equals in medical needs.

And does that include the effectiveness of the national health service during the H1N1 outbreak? Somehow, I think not. Rather, Trump's brilliant response must be re-characterized as racism.

Good God! We agree on something.

You people have such insipid commentary. People who have no money have nothing to lose. They will most certainly go to the hospital.
The entire premise of the Democratic Party's willingness to give free healthcare to illegal immigrants is due to the fact that they do not pay. It's a paid vote--ostensibly. People trade their political freedom for money in the United States.
