Do I have to pay for the er bill if I was forced to stay there on supervised watch for 12hours?

Answer 1

I am refusing to pay any hospital bills because the illegals don't have to. I am tired of them getting away with everything & this is my act of civil disobedience. Join me & spread the revolution! Come on, I know ya wanna.

Answer 2

You sure do. If you were under a "supervised watch" for 12 hours, I'd say somebody had reason to believe you presented a threat to your own safety or the safety of others. On that basis, the detention was put in place.

Ultimately we're all responsible for our actions.. and the consequences of those actions...

Answer 3

Of course you do.

I see it like this. If the ER wants to prove the legitimacy of the bill, they show that you were there and that you received treatment for a grand total of x$.

Your defense was, I was held against my will and given treatment against my will. Well, you're gonna hafta prove that defense. It will be difficult especially if the hospital says that without treatment you would have suffered several physical trauma.

pay the bill or hire an attorney to fight it and pay him and the bill...

Answer 4

Not if you were forced to stay but you will have to challenge the bill under whatever steps are required under their policy.

Answer 5

Yes you do...You can not be FORCED to stay...that is against the human rights...Unless your under 18...Then your parents have to ruling...And in some states if your under 18 you still have the rights to leave!!!

So this BS or you just don't know your rights!!!

Answer 6

A person is not required to pay for a stay that is enforced against his will. It is even a violation of the right of liberty.

Answer 7

It depends on who forced you and why? If it was a legit reason for your forced stay, then you are going to be liable for the charges.

Answer 8

yes
