69. We have that. It's called Patients Bill of Rights.
No provider can refuse service to an individual. It is respected on and off give or take. And it's one reason Obama's plan is very bad, because those people who game the system will increase costs by not paying into the system when they're healthy and taking from the system when they're sick.

Obama's plan is essentially like the social security "opt out" plan. You can "opt in" to being covered or not. Most *liberals* would be against this completely assinine plan.

If a major Presidential Democratic Candidate was saying "Let's let people voluntarily opt out of Social Security," then most people here would be demonizing such proposterous comments.
