What happens when someone who is uninsured and he/she gets sick and goes to the hospital? Who pays for that? Someone else maybe?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32512109.post-50114621569238821532010-02-23T09:58:53.776-08:002010-02-23T09:58:53.776-08:00I really do not like the government "requirin...I really do not like the government "requiring" citizens to have insurance - if they want that so bad, implement National Health Care.
