Doesn't "co-payment" sound so fair?

At the doctor's office they are always so nice when they tell you that you have a co-payment. Aren't you lucky! Not everyone has co-payments. What an honor. My wife no longer has co-payments; because she no longer has health insurance.

  Which means the insurance I pay covers the free care she gets.

    As usual your ignorant assumptions are incorrect. She pays for her care with her hard earned money.

      All she has to do is go to the emergency room and get treated there for free. A lot of people do that at SMH. Then everyone who gets a hospital visit they or the insurance company pays for ends up paying for that.

        While some people will use the er as a substitute for visiting the dr, it is a sad statement on our health care system when some people can not even qualify for health insurance due to pre-existing conditions and their companies do not provide coverage.
        
        People like you and Georgia are too self centered and greedy to understand and appreciate how horrible it is that some Americans are forced into these circumstances not because they are guilty or negligent.
        
        You have no compassion or understanding for the health care crisis this nation is facing. Fortunately, you are now the minority and will soon become even a smaller minority as more people lose their insurance benefits.

    Thats a crap thing to say. Why would you say such a thing thats just mean!
    You should be carful what you say about someone else you never know what kind of bad luck you might have someday.
    Sometimes bad things happen to us all. How long would you keep your ins. if you could no longer pay for it.
    Would you ask for help or go off and die. You would ask for help and I don't think you would feel like that if the shoe was on your foot NP

      Pardon me for stating the FACT that when an indigent person enters a taxpayer-funded health care facility, they cannot be turned away.
      
      Do all facts cause you to break out in a nasty liberal rash, or just health care facts?
      
      Also, for any heath care you are charged for in a taxpayer funded facility, pay merely $5 on each individual bill (lab, x-ray, etc.) each month and the health care provider must allow you to keep paying without recourse.
      
      Hey libs...if all else fails, move to California. There they cannot and do not turn away illegal aliens. Might as well get your ENTITLEments, too, eh?

        F'ing indigents don't follow a healthy lifestyle to begin with and we're stuck for the bills on their sex, drinking and drug-related illnesses.
