"Lets add healthcare now!"

Havent we already added it. I mean, we already pay for those who cannot afford care through increased costs for services, premiums, deductables. We pay for everyone anyway.

And because they are all going to the ER, and not getting preventative care, the costs are increased again.

So why not offer single payer coverage for those without insurance? They can pay a premium depending on their income. The enormous volume of participants would reduce the overall liability.

I dont know what other solution there is at this point. The ER in our town is nuts. There is a 6 hour wait in there 24 hours a day. And most of those people have no insurance, and no ability to pay.
