You're still making the baseless argument that the government will be your healthcare provider. Yes, there may (or may not) be an insurance company that "is" the government, but it is only one of many.
I suppose it is baseless if you turn a blind eye to logic. The bill as it is written explicitly prohibits private insurers from issuing new policies to individuals starting the year in which the bill is put into law. This combined with the fact that the government plan will effectively undercut the "competition" with an unlimited money supply courtesy of the US doesn't leave much to the imagination as to what the end result will be.
That's great. Was anyone being treated, for, for example, pneumonia? Do you think that the common cold or flu that that developed from would have been easier to treat and less dangerous to both the patient and the people around him or more difficult and more dangerous?
Yes they were actually. Of course just as many contracted it in the hospital, but poor or not how many actually go to the doctor for the flu or cold?
And what about those people that really couldn't afford the trip that never got there at all, but could have gotten to their local hospital that doesn't have a free clinic?
There was transportation provided to those needing it.
