One of my business associates just got a lung transplant a few months ago. He had lung disease and he would have died without the transplant. If he did not have insurance, he would have died. The government would not have paid for the transplant.
And even if you have insurance, there are no guarantees. Many people are denied coverage for things like transplants if the insurance company determines that it was a "pre-existing condition", even if the person did not know about it prior to getting the insurance.
Health Care is a business in this country. The #1 goal is to make money. Treating people is a far second on the priority list.
