Toon has it right. BTW; “giving” them health care so they can go to a doctor, rather than using the Emergency Room for non emergency treatment, will save roughly ten to fifty times what “giving” them insurance will cost.
An excellent look at the fundamental fatal flaw in capitalism—it’s uninterested in what people need, only in who can shove whom out of the way the hardest, in order to grab the goodies.
We have a draconian for profit health care system that bleeds the average insurance buyer. Only the rich can afford real medical care in the USA. Every other industrialized country guarantees health care but republicans want you to suffer and pay for it.

as long as healthcare is expensive, paying for it will be costly
people are inherently expensive because they need enough to stay alive
people are also fallible and likely to make fatal mistakes
we need to replace people wherever possible

There are actual sick people who need real medical care, insurance is a money wasting middle man.

It takes a particularly self-centered breed of American to commit to the concept of healthcare for the people of a nation – as a privilege.

All other modern countries have socialized health care. The US is the outlier on that.
