So only irresponsible people have medical emergencies? Cyclist Lance Armstrong delt with cancer. He may have been able to pay for treatments out of pocket, but most Americans can't. With private insurers denying coverage to millions an alternative like the PO is needed.
I respect your belief that govt. should not be in health care but consider the cost of our current system:
>self employed filing medical bankruptcy because their policies were canceled by the
HMO due to "application fraud"
>businesses sending jobs to Canada because they are
getting gouged by the health insurance monopoly. (Book: Outsourcing America)
A PO would relieve businesses of HC costs that force them to send jobs overseas. Keep in mind tax payer run highways relieve businesses of toll road costs. That saves you $ at the store.
