Since you're a self admitted lib we all know what you like about it. Libs love giving s*** away as long as they're using somebody else's money to do it.
Of the ten percent who didn't respond, chances are good some of the would have said yes or later agreed.
So yeah, I'd say it's fair to call that the majority. If nothing else we can all agree the majority of people who responded were in favor.
How do you answer the argument that hospitals are required by law to treat critically ill people regardless of ability to pay, and so via the ACA people have an opportunity now to get far cheaper care earlier and don't end up in the ER at a minimum $5k per pop, plus the base of payers is spread out
Should the law be that the hospital just lets the poor people die?
Posted somewhere in this thread is data showing that ER visits will actually increase given the increase in Medicaid roles.
Once again you are confusing a talking point (ERs will be utilized less leading to $AVINGS!!) with actual data showing that ER usage will go up.

I'd like to see that info.
More people are likely to turn to the emergency room for their health care and they are likely to do so more frequently under the new health reform legislation. This finding is surprising because an oft repeated argument for insuring the uninsured is that it will allow people to seek less costly and more accessible care elsewhere
