Hospitals in my lower-middle-class neighborhood are closing because they are seeing too many uninsured patients. The uninsured patients treat the hospital as their local doctor's office because they can't financially afford to see a doctor on a regular basis.
There are no guarantees that they would even if medical care was free. There are people who do not see a doctor until they get sick. How many get flu shots? I like to see what % of people who go to ER are in fact uninsured. Every group puts out myths and repeats them to advance their own agenda.
