Are you for mandatory weight loss of all US Citizens more than 15 pounds over weight or they lose health insurance and are not allowed access to health care?
Are you for also banning drug addicts from health care and hospital care?
Are you for banning convicted criminals who are shot and need medical care from ER access?
These are red-herring arguments. Nothing more than distractions.
You suggested that since your family member didn't have a hard time getting a well physical appointment, that was your evidence that the health system wasn't stressed. Aside from the fact that this is an anecdotal observation - it doesn't take into account how different the two aspects of this health care equation are.
Last I checked, I can't catch heart disease from standing too close to someone, or addiction. I also don't see any one of these two issues as the acute reason for the current burden on the system.
