Is there any alternative though? We're going to pay those costs one way or another: either the government pays for all the unprofitable patients' healthcare (the wet dream of health insurers), or we tell those people to go fuck themselves.

And now we have the worst of both worlds:

Those patients have no coverage so get Emergency treatment for acute symptoms of their issues that rarely fix the underlying problem, and beyond that we also tell them to go fuck themselves.
