That's precisely WHY it's a good solution. Those who have expensive conditions should pay more for their care. If they cannot afford to do so, they should be dropped from care.
Unfortunately, doctors don't refuse care to sick people, and we get stuck in the situation we have now, where those who can't afford care simply receive treatment, then refuse to pay, adding the burden to the medical costs for the rest of us. For a purely private health system to work, something would need to be done.

What the fuck kind of shit is this?
So you think poor people should just die because they don't have any money? You do realize that diabetics who can't afford their medication will die because their bodies can't process sugar, right? Or that without antiretroviral treatment, AIDS can kill people in a matter of months?
Not to mention that you completely did a 180. I said that you don't think poor people's health isn't important enough to tax people for; you said that private health insurance was a solution. When I pointed out that it wouldn't help poor people because there is no natural incentive for covering the poor who are also sick, you then changed the objective

We already spent money on healthcare before the reform bill went in. Medicare, Medicaid, HHS and NIH are all expensive programs that we've had for decades.
or, we could be even more responsible, and require the richest of the rich to pay a little bit more back to this country that has made their obscene wealth possible.
