If you have CA and have no ability to pay but you do not fall into the medicaid-poor population, you sell your house, your car, your whatever. Ok. Let's say there are some docs out there who are compassionate enough to give you treatment. I guess they can write you off on taxes, or refer you to some over-burdened, understaffed, underfunded agency who might take you in (but you'd better be good at being your own advocate) or just hound you with bill collectors until you wish you'd just died instead.
