Posted by Leonard Steinberg on October 5th, 2013 As the government shutdown continues mostly dictated by opposition to Universal Health care, I have to ask the question:  If its OK for us taxpayers to pick up the grossly inflated tab when an un-insured person walks into a Hospital emergency room, why is it not OK for us taxpayers to pick up the grossly inflated tab when an un-insured motorist has a car wreck?
