Nevertheless, when you consider that the basis of science is continually changing because of new discoveries, we must also have sympathy to the drug enterprise as good. They don't seem to be miracle makers, they just try to make profits by using promoting some thing that they "think" would aid different men and women. Think the arena without antibiotics and different medication, what number of humans would must die? If we agree that science will also be converted, the drug company might not have an excuse of increasing remedy prices due to the fact that of regulation suit.Additionally if we appear at any other discipline that has used the socialist approach it has slowed down and didn't are living as much as its Utopian promise.

Yes they can't turn you away for Emergency treatment. And there are some hospitals that have a program you can apply for that will write off services you received if you meet income guideline. The hospital I worked at did this and it was really helpful.

Yes, as long as it is an emergency. My aunt had no insurance and no $$ and they weren't going to do her heart surgery. It wasn't immediately life threatening, but the doc had given her 6-8 months. She got it done only after calling and writing people to get approvals and permission. Now she'll probably have to file bankruptcy because she can't afford the payments.
Isn't our health care system just grand?

My brother in law lost his job and insurance, he was days from getting private insurance approved when he had a valve in his heart go bad (at 41) He was fit and health till the attack. Three weeks later he is still in intensive care. They took him in, no problem.
But he is screwed with massive debt now. For his family's sake he said he wished he had dropped dead at home. I don't think bankruptcy erases debt since it was revised by congress last year.
They just schedule payments over a long time for you.

Yes, if you go through the emergency room of a hospital with a true emergency, you cannot, by law, be turned away. If it is not a true emergency, they can advise you on what you need to do and refer you to your family doctor.
