  1. “Socialist” Europe has better healthcare than the US and pays less for it!
    Make America even more sick Again!
    Just wait until Jeff Bezos (Amazon’s CEO) starts giving you medical care…

    • @HOLLYBANANAS….. He’s right. I should know. I moved to Europe in 1981 and it is better. Anyone who’s ever been here loves it… (would rather stay)

    • +HOLYBANANAS1968 Why shouldn’t the USA have representative government instead? Why shouldn’t the legislators act on “our” behalf rather than allowing the corporations to gouge us? Surely you are not that dumb.

    • UK is one of least Socialist in EU, but healthcare is free, in England many scripts are free and in Northern Ireland all scripts are free.

  2. Where have these people been ?
    Unless your dying the Emergency room will do nothing to help you
    They will send you home with no insurance an tell you to go See a doctor, Drug prescription has gone up 6.4% this year in Cost, with skyrocketed insurance premiums an deductibles, skyrocketed inflation prices, Same Oppression of min fed wage for decades,
    Crooked politicians and lying politicians in the pocket’s of health care industry and pharmakia industry with the Greedy Welfare billionaires Millionaires. Look at the VA health care system they let them die or fix the appointment book’s an some Vets waiting Over Ten years from injuries occurred in the Military for hearings for approval, or Vet’s living in the streets dying before they get Approved by the VA system from military injuries,

  3. 600,000 people will not be at the hospital, you are talking about facilities for an extra 5,000 people per year a mere 15 extra beds. Who could disagree with that. NYC should med4all for itself.

  4. Wow. I see how this works. Reagan passed a bill that Emergency Rooms can no longer refuse anyone that doesn’t have insurance but he also passed a bill to put medical bills on your credit report. Won’t be long before Humpty Trumpty decides to pass a bill that you can’t write medical bills off on a bankruptcy (just like federal student loans).

    • I’m fairly certain that the “not to bright” professor can at least spell “too” properly. You misspelled “your” also, it should be you’re. One of you is not too bright, bro!!

    • Except that never happens. Doctors at hospitals are more concerned about making people better, not their ability to pay. If you walk into an ER you will be treated.
