I don't believe that Obamacare, Romneycare, or Medical Insurance have anything to do with health care, at all. They have to do with insurance. They're two entirely different things.So if a person needs medical treatment that will save their life, you rather see them die instead of making you buy health insurance, which is for your own good in the first place ?

Insurance is meant to cover you in case of a catastrophe. You don't use auto insurance to pay for your gas and repairs. You use auto insurance if you have an accident. Same with home owners or renters insurance.
Health care is between you and your doctor, and should be pay as you go, like getting gas for your car. When the doctor tells you (Jim) that you have cancer, and need thousands to cover the cost, that's the catastrophe that insurance is supposed to cover. Or any kind of hospital stay. I remember I needed three stitches in my hand and the bill was 2700. My wife broke her wrist and the ER visit was 5 grand-they didn't really treat her at all, just deferred her to surgery the next day.
One thing health care insurance should not cover is birth control devices or abortion.
Everyone should have access to health care. There are hospitals all over the country that serve the poor. They aren't exactly UCLA Medical Center or Sloan Kettering. Heck, my diocese has a health clinic that serves the poor.
Health insurance and health care are two different things...
