About 30m without insurance - not 30m without the ability or without health care, just 30m uninsured. A relative drop in the bucket.
So , what exactly happens if I need medical treatment and I am un insured in America?
You go and you pay for it out of pocket.
Ok - I understand that Road traffic accident cases are taken in and stablised - but i have a life threatening illness, like cancer, say - or just need a hip replacement. What is going to happen to me then ?

So, how does this compare with no insurance across the pond?
You'll get treatment when you need it, not when the government thinks you'll need it.
