Yes, that is exactly the point of health care reform. To allow people that have no insurance now so they don't get ANY heath care done unless they get so sick they have no choice but to go the the ER, which is the MOST expensive provider of health care out there. If these people are going to Dr. and getting well care and getting preventive care then we all spend less money paying for an ER visit because someone's baby gets H1N1 or twists their ankle. Remember these are cost we all pay indirectly through large insurance premiums which are due to those uncovered visit which the hospitals have to pay for by overcharging those people that do have more money.
If everyone is able to contribute an amount they can afford based on their income and have access to well care there is more money coming in from the participants to spread the costs out among a larger poll of people.
