  • Add in all the doctors quitting, massive expenses levied on the states, and even more people using the ER as a doctors office, I'm thinking it might be time to study some advanced first aid.

  • Just tell them your name is Jose Martinez Lupe Jorge Gonzales, and you are an illegal from Mexico. No problem.

    • That's funny, when I left the Stockton P.D. the city went broke, if I would have retired they would have cancelled my insurance, I told my wife, we need to go to the doctor, just make up a name and tell them you don't speak English....

  • It gets worse. Since you don't have to sign up right away to get health insurance - they still have to take you when you get sick - and the fines taxes are way too small to force people into the system, the insurance companies will rapidly be caught in a cost spiral. When they increase the costs due to drop outs, more people will drop out. It will be interesting how this plays out.
