No ones going to be kicked out of a store or resterant unless they are being a disruption. Just like they wont not sell you something that you have the money to pay for. You pay an insurance company under the belief that if you need that benefit, it will be there for you. Yet Doctors will prescribe a course of legitimate treatment (im not including fraudulent) and an insurance company can deny it.

So why does Medicare deny more claims than private insurance?

Seems to me you want to shift to government ... which denies far more claims than private insurance does.

Damn facts keep getting in the way of a good socialist takeover don't they?
