The real solution is to stop providing health care for the uninsured. Health care should be viewed as a benefit not a right. Can\’t pay for it (or don\’t want to pay for it) then no benefits. Just like car insurance.
Hey Solution guy:Wake up. Our taxes pay for the uninsured\’s care when Medicaid reimburses the hospitals.
I am a free market guy on most economic matters, but health care isn\’t the same. An ounce of prevention IS worth a pound of cure. I\’d much rather see our tax dollars go to socialized medicine than propping up tobacco growers, oil depletion tax breaks, comedic academic research ( ex; Do dog\’s farts stink more then a duck?- A true research paper subsidized by the Feds!)etc., etc.
This study on the cost to the state and the taxpayers for medically uninsured citizens should be required reading for every State legislature.
