15. If you don't have insurance
they can't force a hospital to take you. there will be a new industry at emergency rooms entrances where you put up a bond to get treatment because you'll owe the whole bill. For example, there will be title loans for broken ankle, and you'll put up your house for brain surgery. We will need to rebuild the charity hospitals like in the old days for most folks. Cities will need to raise taxes or fees to fund one charity hospital for the uninsured. That's what many of the General Hospitals were.
