It's reality, not FUD. Emergency rooms not being able to turn you away when you have a heart attack isn't healthcare. Healthcare includes being able to go to a doctor before you get to the point of emergency for preventative care.

And not paying out the nose for the prevention. We are still paying a 2500 bill from 2 years ago for a mammogram

Edited to correct a typo

Healthcare should also include taking care of yourself, but somehow we've gotten to the place where only a quarter of the population is at a healthy weight.
