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.
Sorry, Dak. My "myth" was based on this news story from my 'hood.
