A Highland patient makes her point that because we have so many uninsured people out there they use the ER as their primary care physician - thus driving up the overall cost of the system. Does that mean some model of universal health care is the answer?

  • Are you F**ING kidding me? Our country DOES offer FREE health insurance to a bunch of low-lifes like this lady who smoke a carton of cigarettes per day, drink a case of beer per day, have cell phones, get their hair/nails done but yet don't freaking have a job because they choose to sit on their ass all day and get free shit from the government. Meanwhile I am at work busting my ass and I get nothing for it and I am supposed to feel sorry for these people?!!!

  • go smoke another carton of cigarettes.

  • I don't understand how people can be against universal health care. I don't understand how anyone can equivocate universal healthcare to be a socialist paradigm.

  • brought to you by OBAMACARE - selling your grandchildren into political and economic slavery for generations to come.

  • ugly

  • A very contrived video - why not portray the majority of the patients who are illegal aliens?

  • @Nicnoir you truly are an idiot, shes an older woman, name one valid thing that backs that up based on the video.

  • @theunderone1 the USA cant afford the us style health care

  • @alexandradeufemia people abuse it though and even come to expect it, I knew a mother of 2 who is 25 who lived on welfare in the projects for about 100 bucks a month and would spend about 50 bucks a day sniffing coke. she had no job. unfortunally the sterotypes a lot of the time tend to be true. she and someone in her situation were talking about it. I personally would never take any type of assistance I can take care of myself, I save my money and exspect others to do the same.

  • people that use the ER like a primary physician are why people who are in an actual emergency have to wait 3 hour with a broken leg while the doctor treats the uninsured persons 4 year old with a cough. Inless its a true emergency go to a free clinic
