We already have universal healthcare
That's where the uninsured go to the emergency room (where no one can be turned away, by law) instead of a clinic or doctor. Very expensive resources are used to treat everyday symptoms.

They don't pay and the government doesn't pay, so the hospitals pad the bills of everyone who does pay, because we have insurance.

The insurance companies are complicit in this scheme, although preventive care and universal access to inexpensive clinical resources (not the ER for a sniffle) would help save the system billions every month.

This new idea for universal health-care is just a sneaky way to have everything paid for above-board, instead of under the table, with padded bills and such. This might actually enable us to track the real expenditures and know what we're actually getting for our money. Genius!
