How can it be true that 18% of Americans have no health insurance, while they get healthcare anyway (for the big stuff), and yet it is NOT affordable to insure all? What big lie are we being sold?

No because insured people over-use and healthcare is fine charging insurance for something someone doesn't really need Catastrophic should be single payer, other healthcare should be private pay/insurance. Ex: Getting pregnant and aborting is a choice, not a state paid right.

Sounds good to me.

Yes, it would. Uninsured spend 1/2 the amount on health care than the insured. When they become insured, the will use more healthcare. Which is the point. Using more healthcare means more money spent. Cost increase .

You're just trolling right? By big stuff you mean emergency care right? You cannot be denied emergency care even if you don't have insurance. Correct. But what about the rest? The non-emergency healthcare? Prescriptions, etc? That gets mighty expensive.

Updated numbers, about 9% are uninsured, and maybe half of those costs are already absorbed in the system as they use healthcare without paying for it.

Uninsured are protected by the EMTALA act. The use top dollar emergency rooms instead of clinics. Insuring them would be cheaper for everyone.
