The same as auto insurance - if you have 4 tickets, 2 at-fault accidents, and a DUI, you pay a lot for insurance. If you are a good driver, the rates are dirt cheap. Don't like your rate? Quit smoking and lose 200 lbs. If you are 22, in good shape, and a non-smoker: your rate should be about $30/mo.

What about people who have chronic conditions (and in particular conditions that prevent them from making money)? Will we raise their rates even though they can't afford the increased rates?

Wouldn't this lead to people not seeing a doctor because they think it might be a cold or flu even though it is something much more serious?

I know this will offend many, but we are denying care to U.S. citizens so that we can give it to illegal aliens.

If we are going to jail them we better give them a trial first (our constitution requires it). Also if we are going to deport them we are also constitutionally required to give them due process. In the end that would likely cost more money than just helping them in the first place.
