First Responders exempt from Obamacare

That's why we have the opt-out fee. It encourages people to buy now instead of just when they need it.

Or at least that's what theyre telling me.

There is also a 90 day waiting period for most insurers. Buying health insurance in the middle of a health crisis is like buying car insurance after an accident.

Implementation has been poor, but in EMS I saw far too many patients without any ability to pay for their treatment. One young guy refused to be transported to an inner city hospital from a nice one in the burbs. He figured that whether his surgery cost $10,000 or $110,000, he couldn't afford to pay either bill. Might as well go bankrupt in comfort.
