And if you don't have insurance when you show up what will happen under the current system? If you have no insurance to show proof of?
Right now, if you have insurance do you have to show proof of it? |
I doubt, under ANY system, our hospitals would (TYPICALLY---always gotta disclaimer everything in the Cellar 'cause someone knew someone personally and IRL who died that way) let someone die on the front step because they can't produce the appropriate papers. If this begins to be the case, I REALLY don't want to live here anymore. :headshake

Yes you do have to show proof of insurance now, so they can bill it. I never went to the ER when I didn't have insurance but the signs say they can't turn anyone away... under the current system.

When my bones were protuding from my arm I don't remember them beating me up for my insurance card: they got me into treatment and the paperwork came later. This isn't, of course, the same as showing up with the sniffles, which is what uninsured people HAVE to do because they have nowhere else to go, under the current system.

See? ALL THE TIME. Bring out yer dead!
I've seen bloody stumps of people crawling all over the hospital lawn, just waiting to get in. OK, sure. All the time. |

I just don't understand how the illegal immigration issue can be ignored when reforming health care. I'm not saying I have the answer... but I also didn't run for president. |
lol
I just knew someone would know of it happening: I'm sure it does, I'm just saying it isn't exactly the intention. I still think that with proper healthcare options, CITIZENS wouldn't need to use the emergency room for non-life-threatening illness or injury and thus alleviate the problems in overcrowded emergency rooms. |
