Especially since taxpayers already pay for the uninsured to be cared for in emergency rooms across the nation. If that person will have insurance, they will actually cost us LESS.
That's so true. I don't think people realize just how often this occurs. I imagine in bigger cities it's more widespread. If you have a bad stomach ache and don't have insurance, you go to the ER. That happens a lot in our hospitals here in California.
I had a friend some years ago, who was divorced with 3 kids and no insurance and that's exactly what she did. I couldn't even attempt to guess a dollar amount it would save, but I'm sure it'd be huge.
