Wrong! If the uninsured actually paid for their own costs, we wouldn't have premiums being taken out of private to pay for them, we wouldn't have hospitals eating increasingly large amounts of costs!
Aww, look, another person who didn't bother to read his own article!
Do you really think $31 million will cause hospitals around the country to go bust?
Furthermore, all your article does is point out that Medicaid is slow on the reimbursement.
More uninsured patients cause struggle for local hospitals
So much for your belief that the uninsured pay their way.

Guess who's paying for that? You and me. Well, me for sure. I don't know if you actually have a job and pay taxes.
That's ALOT Of money. Easily enough to kill hospitals.
You need more then a link. You need a full on education.
Are you trying to pull a Apdst on me?
Let's see your quote again:
'I could go on and on but I'm sure you get what I'm saying.'

Tell me how that is different from:
'I could go on and on but I'm sure you get what I'm saying.'

Looks the same to me, but then again, I can read. I know for a fact a great many people here can't. The question now is if you are one of them.
Well, at least not in ways that rile up the public. Now, infants being strangled to death by their cribs, that's enough to rile the public up...despite only 2 in a year with millions of the same cribs sold.
You seem to be exceedingly unaware of how economics works in historical development. Perhaps we should not BE in certain low income manufacturing industries? The same way the Europeans abandoned textiles manufacturing after them good-for-nothin' Americans undercut them. Please look up comparative advantage before replying.
Yes, because much of it would be installing stuff here. You can't outsource that well. Furthermore, much of that would be in design which America, at least right now, still does well. If we can figure out efficient batteries, that would create mountains of proverbial jobs.
That can be alleviated by simple slapping on pollution taxes to imports from polluting countries. In many ways, the market is perverted because costs that no one in particular bares, pollution is not included. A sizable amount of true cost is not in the price and that distorts prices. To create an actual level market, we'd need to enforce the introduction of costs that previously were not included.
Uh..do you even understand what opportunity cost is?
I find it amusing how you think you can talk about such subjects yet not even grasp the basics of them. perhaps that is why you labeled your self "very" Conservative?

Educate yourself.
Show me that the capital that was spent on Spain's Green infrastructure would have created the jobs allegedly lost in the study. I'd love to see someone prove that the jobs would have been created rather then the actual underlying concept that there was merely potential. You might just turn economics upside down if you could prove that.
I can see why you spend so little time in the Econ forum.
