Health Care Questions

Dennis Byrne has a few questions about HilllaryCare II:

How do you make Americans sign up for universal health insurance?

So, what happens when someone refuses to get the health insurance that would be mandated by two Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) and former Sen. John Edwards (N.C.)?

If an uninsured patient shows up at a doctor’s office or hospital emergency room, is he refused care? Does he have to produce evidence that he can pay? Will he be required to sign up on the spot for health care coverage before receiving care?
Good questions... will Hillary answer?

Probably not without a lot of pushing. She doesn't want to tell people that what she's proposing is really socialized medicine.
