NoPeople with no insurance is the reason insurance is so expensive for the rest of us because the insured pay for the emergency room visits of the uninsured. When every person has insurance, people can go see a doctor when they get sick, not wait till the last minute and go the emergency room. This needs to be done to bring down costs which is why the public option is being pushed...so regular folks can afford health insurance and make private insurance cheeper. This is how it works in EVERY OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. Don't try to say other countries have rationed care, or their citizens are denied life saving treatments because that's not true. If this is what the insurance companies wanted, why would they spend so much money trying to convince everyone else otherwise?
