What would happen to a person in a coma with no health insurance?

For example, he got hurt, went to the emergency room, they did an operation and now he is in a coma. What would happen to him?
--------------------
He would get treatment, just like anyone else who goes to an ER, then YOU and ME, the taxpayers pay for it. So, what about healthcare for all......um wait, we already have it, its called the ER. You can go in there with a headache and they have to treat you. In fact a few years ago there were doctors who didn't carry any health insurance, b/c they would just always go to the ER. I think they have since passed some new laws to prevent this.

Why do we need "National Health Insurance"?

No one goes without health care. Hospitals are required to give health care to people who can not afford it. Why do you think the cost of health care is so expensive for the paying public? The only reason Obama wants "National Health Insurance" is so he can have moe control over people.
--------------------
We don't need it. 89% of people are happy with their coverage. What we need is to get overall costs down some to help those not covered to afford their own coverage. The way to drive costs down is not to implement massive government control. You can't forcefully lower the cost of something without supply running out. Health care may be a service but it still follows the laws of supply and demand. If you don't like freedom of choice and you enjoy long waiting lines for mediocre care, then national health insurance is for you.

Should you have your health insurance premiums deducted before taxes?

If you do, will it make you have to pay more in taxes at the end of the year?
--------------------
If you elect to have your share of health care premiums paid pretax, your withholding will be tweaked to adjust for this automatically. The difference is instead of making $20,000 at the end of the year, your W-2 will say you made $18,500. This is less income, less tax and generally a good thing. (It does reduce your income for social security purposes, but I haven't seen any persuasive logic that paying for health care post tax now will give you enough extra money in retirement to justify not doing it.)

If the wingnuts & teabaggers are so against a health insurance public option why don't they refuse Medicare?

I think because they're full of BS. There must be another reason they're against reform. IF they REALLY were against government run health care how come the wackos aren't protesting about that. Why aren't crazy Boehner and the unhinged GOP bouncing off the walls to shut down Medicare.
--------------------
Because unlike the freeloader Democrats those people paid for it out of their taxes already. If you had more than a 5th grade education you'd know that already.

How many own stock in Insurance Companies?

All have paid insurance. And likely most have stock in insurance companies as do most Americans with any retirement investments in 401K's, etc.

What is an affordable health insurance that I can apply for in Southern California?

An affordable one. I can't seem to find one. I was layed off my job but my cobra will be too expensive is there anything else out there. I tried kaiser but its like 220 a month for just me.
--------------------
~~It all goes by your age and health history. My son is 25 and he is signing up for a Blue Shield plan. It is more of a major medical. Still it allows a physical once a year, and his annual deductible is reasonable (I believe it is $2,700.00 a year). It also includes some prescription coverage. It is only going to cost him $53 a month. So a plan like this may work well for you. Our agent is Lisa and her number is 1-800-611-9057 ext #2206. We've used her for years and had a group plan through our business. However it is too expensive for the insurance we have ,so we are switching over to this type to save on the monthly premiums, but still have very good coverage. She will explain all your options after you tell her what your needs are. All done by phone and email or fax, so it's awesome!~~
