I have a pretty concrete suspicion: Let's say Vinny here experienced a little bout with his fascinating and obscure little affliction. And let's say an ambulance came and took him to the ER at, how 'bout St. John's over there off I-270? Now we'll go a step further and suppose that he had no medical insurance, and the week before, Medicaid had been eliminated because the gov't thought it "simply wasn't fair" for people to pay for someone else's medical treatment. So St. John's denies him medical treatment, and the closest hospital that would treat him is a Shriner's hospital, but it's too far away to get him there in time to save his fat ass. I have a feeling that, right about then, he'd feel very differently about government subsidized healthcare.
