The land of the free. Free to get shot wile doing your grocery shopping. Free to go home and die of an easily curable medical condiition because you have no health insurance.
Why would you get shot?
We have charity hospitals, no one dies for lack of medical care! The Illegals use our emergency rooms as clinics because they won't be turned away. They have bankrupted dozens!
Exactly, Mort. When the left was trying to sell Obamacare, I kept hearing all these horror stories about people dying in the streets for lack of medical insurance.
And I made the same point: How is that possible, when any illegal immigrant can step across the border, stroll into an American E.R. and get medical treatment regardless of his ability to pay? And forget emergencies -- some Mexican women were using American hospitals for prenatal care, for crying out loud.
To anyone who kept arguing in the face of such overwhelming evidence, I simply posed this challenge: Give me the names of these supposed victims who died for lack of medical insurance.
Unsurprisingly, I never even got one.
