I've been going over this question for a couple of days after looking at the California budget and seeing how much we bleed off into welfare and k-12 (yet our kids are still some of the dumbest in the nation).
If I go to a doctor and say "hey doc, my arm's broken, here's $50.00 to patch me up", what happens? I don't know for certaint because I've always had the "luxury" of insurance throughout my life either through my parents or my career.
But what stops a doctor from treating me if I don't have insurance? The hospital? Him/herself? The State? The Feds? Why do doctors have to turn away people without insurance? Who mandates that?
