Wasn't that the case before Obamacare?

But there are some people not getting the treatment they deserve as Americans, and I don't like it.
If you believe that being an American means all Americans should be provided the same product by private businesses regardless of whether or not they can afford to pay for it, then you believe in socialism. And if you believe that healthcare is different than other products and should be delivered in that socialistic manner, then you should have no objection, should even support, universal healthcare paid for by government.
