Really Azure, the logical extension of your argument is that if I choose to not buy insurance then a doctor has the same right - to refuse to treat me until payed.

And I'm not trying to vilify you when I say that.

It's actually quite reasonable, if you are bankrupt then a restaurant isn't required by law to feed you and if you are homeless then a hotel is not required by law to house you. Both hypotheticals can be equally as urgent but the government demands more of the health care industry.
And, just like any other industry, the paying customer always absorbs an arbitrary burden.
