I prefer data, such as that the uninsured are twice as likely to die when they visit the ER. If you're cool with that stat, I guess you'd be okay with repealing Obamacare.

But then why on earth would he then advocate we have the uninsured pay nothing?
Don Diego wanted math. Here is some in its most basic form: "Something" is greater than "nothing".
Bull! You and others have become so accustomed to insurance that you apparently have no idea that some people pay for their medical expenses out of their own pockets. I have for years. Up to and including surgery. It costs less than insurance! I have found a number of doctors who charge discounted rates when the patient is paying cash. They don't have to pay a staff member to process the insurance paperwork and they don't have to wait to be paid.
