Denying health care to the uninsured is preferable to going bankrupt and denying health care to everyone. This is the concept of triage-there are some who cannot can be saved during an overwhelming crisis with limited resources. Ironically, by closing hospitals to the uninsured, the public outcry will force the Federal government to pay up sooner than later. Increasing State funding will only prolong the agony, and delay necessary Federal intervention. This non full service hospital idea is simply brilliant.
