I'm sure that's about the size of it, or they get tax write offs for serving the poor.
The point I was making is that people DO have healthcare, right now, in America. The people truly getting shafted are the ones who pay high premiums and deductibles. I would LOVE to get free healthcare. I would fill out the forms and wear my old clothes if they wouldn't charge me. Poor people need to STFU. This country isn't based on poverty, those countries are on other continents. This country is based on hard work and self-respect.
