I suspect -- but admit that I do not know -- that most naysayers to national insurance who are currently uninsured by choice or by circumstance would be very unhappy if their access to the hospital emergency room required advance payment for all costs.
So long as you attack me by impugning my motives there is no chance that we will come to an understanding. I have said this before, and I will say it again.

I am gainfully

employed. I will pay for

my own medical care.
