If one of these folks comes to the Cleveland Clinic with a Blue Cross/Blue Shield card, why would he be treated differently than a "rich" person with the same card and same coverage?

translation: make everyone give money to insurance companies, guaranteeing a profit, so the government can implement price controls to make health care just a little less expensive, guaranteeing a profit, and nearly everyone can have guaranteed medical care access, guaranteeing a profit.
do i have that right?
