Default Re: "Support for Healthcare Plan Falls to All Time Low"

Prof, despite the fact that people can't be turned away from hospitals, would they not still incur massive debt? From what I understand, illness can be financially ruinous in your country. And on a fundamental level, I don't think that could stand.

A friend of mine from New Mexico who is currently in my program in at my university cut himself pretty bad about a month back. He's unemployed and has no medical coverage and he was terrified about going to the hospital thinking that it would deplete his tuition fund.

He went got treatment, and only had to sign a form.

How does this not seem like a good thing to you? Is this not the kind of thing your government is trying to do? Shouldn't you guys be more like Canada?
