You can thank Reagan for the "free" healthcare that people get at emergency rooms.

Universal healthcare is the way to address the issue. ACA is a bandaid, albeit a better one than what existed before it, but its a hybrid. We could and should expand coverage under Medicare by 1.) lowering the participation age
and 2.) Allowing the government to negotiate w pharmaceuticals on pricing of drugs like every other government and the VA does.
