I've never seen one of these video's. Hospitals are required to treat every patient that walks through the doors, insurance or no insurance, that's the law. I've also never heard of anyone waiting 17+ hours in an ER unless there was some sort of disaster like a flood, earchquake or 9/11. Both of these points have nothing to do with an Insurance company

I'm not going to search youtube for you right now, I have things to do at the moment. These have both been on CNN, Fox, and all the major networks. I'm sure the videos are out there somewhere.
And they absolutely have to do with health care (that's the topic of this thread, yes?) If there were a public option and safety net these people's care would have been paid for and they would have received care. No 9-11, no natural disaster... just didn't have coverage.
