This thread is starting to meld with the other thread that paints Obama as the devil for requiring health insurance.

Any medical provider that you go to, the first thing they want to talk about is what insurance do you have. Why? Because they want to know if they are going to get paid from your insurance or rely on you and their bill collectors to extract the money you owe them.
