Are cons asking their base to sponge off society?

Cons are telling people, especially young people, to not buy health insurance in order to undermine the ACA. When these folks get sick or injured they will end up in a hospital where the rest of (insured) society will have to pay pay their bills. Isn't this a type of welfare, or worse, socialism? So the cons are advocating a type of societal parasitism, right?

Update:

Re-read the question Damon, it says nothing about Medicare or Medicaid. Cons are telling folks to have NO insurance.

Update 2:

RUK: Insurance premiums have gone DOWN since the ACA was passed. If your's has gone up you may want to shop for a new plan through an ACA Exchange, you may even qualify for a tax credit.

    Wow, that was stupid.

    People that do not participate in Obamacare don't automatically get Medicaid. In fact, the huge voter base of welfare recipients that Obama relies on will continue to receive Medicare and Medicaid services regardless of the cost of ACA on the working class.

    Here, where I live, no one is turned away at the hospital or the Immediate Care facilities. They never have been. If I have to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles, or the Immediate Care facility, I have to wait in line behind clusters of illegal aliens who are driving without insurance and getting free rides on our health care system.

    The Cons, as you call them, are not asking to sponge off society, but to protest the Unconstitutional grab for power from the dictator, Obama, and his administration of Chicago style criminals. Fight him!

    So how is using the ER as the primary, different than you making me pay more for insurance than I'm paying now because I work hard? (Although it's usually Obama supporters in the inner city who use ERs as their primaries.)
