Odd.
I thought the right to choose also meant you had the right to choose poorly, understanding that with every choice you made, you were responsible for the outcome.
People aren't being responsible if their plan is to stick the taxpayers with the bill if their medical expenses are too high.

Only in your fantasy where doctors literally rummage through a dying patient's pockets for an insurance card before treating them (and can throw them out on the street if they don't find one, even if the patient DOES have insurance). But for anyone interested in a workable health care system, rather than a dogmatic utopia, the idea of not providing ER treatment for the uninsured is hopelessly impractical.

That's interesting. What state is that?
