Indigent care is primarily through emergency rooms. Those are primarily paid for by business and residential property taxes. ObamaCare shifts this to people's paychecks. Corporations and the rich pay SIGNIFICANTLY more in property taxes than the middle class. But under Obama care a Billionaire will pay no more for indigent health care than someone punching an hourly clock. ObamaCare is MASSIVE TAX REDUCTIONS for the rich, with the middle class to pick up the difference.
I don't have anything to back it up right now but I don't think that is correct. Most hospitals are private businesses. Hospitals normally make up for non paying customers by raising the prices on paying customers.
