It is not right.. I think that there should be laws on the books that make it illegal to not have insurance.. even if people choose to break such laws.

Absolutely not. How would you distinguish between those who intend to pay and those who do not? If someone wants to take the risk of breaking their bank with an unexpected illness by not getting insurance, that's their problem, but they should not be refused treatment.

One of the issues I have with the folks who can afford, but do not buy, health insurance is how they will still use health care providers like emergency rooms with no ability of paying for the care if it gets a little expensive (like what hospital care is not). They depend on the ethics of the medical profession but do not seem to have ethics themselves. What do you think Casey? Should there be legislation to enable healthcare providers to refuse uninsured non-emergency cases without the fear of leagal action against them? Great thoughts here Casey.
