Can you define the limits of "access"?

In my conversations, I find that many people do not know that it is now, and has been since 1986, the law that no hospital can turn away a patient based on their citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay. How much access should we provide in order to establish the footing for egalitarianism?


I think the difference is that Sini's viewpoint advocates "Access to healthcare that is not proceeded by crippling debt" while the law prohibiting hospitals from turning away patients simply affords "Access to healthcare" which may or may not be followed by said crippling debt.


Exactly.
