Those who oppose Obamacare seem to think that Americans without coverage will just not show up at a doctor's office or a hospital ER, seeking treatment. Don't worry--those folks will be there, for their broken arm from a slip/fall, sick child, heart attack at work, injury from a car crash, stab wound, etc. And who will pay? the rest of us, through higher premiums. And the billionaire class will just cut back the level of coverage provided to their employees, so as to preserve their profit and foist healthcare costs onto working Americans. All this so that the rich and powerful get their tax cuts...
