Quote:Your earlier post referred to 'uncompensated' emergency room visits, which to the best of my understanding has nothing to do with FICA or Medicaid. And from what I understand, Medicaid costs us about $300 billion, which, while not as trivial as EMTALA expenditures is nowhere near to being the main source of our healthcare woes. Having said that, I would have absolutely no problem with getting rid of Medicare, Medicaid, VA, and all other programs in favor of a reasonable universal coverage system.
