Question by Isabella: Has anyone heard about "good samaritan insurance" where people are asked to lend coverage to others?
I have just heard from someone that in California they are working on passing "good samaritan insurance" law that would enable anyone uninsured to borrow insurance from an insured person to get treatment. I have heard that Family Practitioners association is working on this with one of the senators. Is this true? Would'n the insureds' rates go up after it is used over and over? I have to pay a lot for my insurance on my own, and although my heart goes out to uninsured, I would not be able to pay more if my rates went up....would become one of them! If you have heard anything about it, please let me know.

Have not heard of it, but your observations sound correct to me, and such a scheme could never be a substitute for universal health coverage which is the government's job. Candidates always promote this kind of coverage; elected officials never act upon it.
