I forgot to mention that the origin of modern free healthcare started with the Hill-Burton Law passed in 1946 to help rural areas build hospitals. Most public hospitals built after WWII up into the 70s used H-B loans to build or add-on. A part of that law required any hospital using funds from that law to treat a certain number of indigent patients for free for 20 years. Your wonderful Congress changed 20 years to forever and the result is the mess we have today. Many of the rural hospitals built with H-B funds have now closed, a victim of bankruptcy due to free healthcare from your friendly politician.
