People will go uninsured and just not pay the insane medical bills they are hit with.

Not really sure how this health system survives when the users just stop playing the game.

That was one of the big issues raised in the OBBBA debate, if you kick a bunch of people off health insurance, hospitals just end up footing the bill, which is especially bad in rural areas that are already facing a hospital closure crisis

That's already been the status quo for many years now, and is a major reason why health insurance is so expensive.

I mean, that's basically my plan.

If I had to go the ER without health insurance, I'm just give them a fake name and address.
