If people who don't have a health insurance can't afford it, who pay for their medical bills?
Uninsured patients are responsible for medical bills, if they unable to pay so they could end up file for bankruptcy and the hospital will lose the money, so increase the medical care for all of us.
From our taxes? If yes, that's why Republicans oppose ACA.
Yes, republicans don't want healthcare reform, but capitalism-based reform (they do support tax credit to buy insurance). In most countries, healthcare is usually funded from taxes. Our medical care is getting more expensive due to many years of negligence and it is getting harder to fix, except for adopt the Medicare for all people instead of wait until 65 years old or disabled.
After Supreme Court ruling, they made Medicaid expansion as optional so state government make decision, so most republican governors reject the Medicaid expansion, so left low income families without any coverage.
