Mandating health care isn't the issue, but allowing it to be easily accessible to all steps of the financial ladder is. Doctor bills aren't regulated by any agency as far as I know, so I'm sure there are plenty of doctors out there that are boning the insurance companies out of ALOT more money than the procedures they perform cost.

I'm not really the one to complain though, I know it's expensive keeping all those cops/firefighters/ambulances/federal agencies/food stamps/SSI paid off every year. Would be fucked to dial 911 and have the operator ask if you have a law enforcement insurance card otherwise they won't send anyone.
