    PSA: Hospitals can’t refuse an ER visit if you have no insurance

      They can sure as hell refuse you other services, though, and countless life-threatening conditions aren’t things you can just go to the ER for.

      True. But you’ll be sitting there for 3 days before they see you.

      You joke, but funeral services these days are around that price.

      Many states you have to pay for the death certificate as well…and hopefully you’re loved one didn’t have debts cuz oh ho boi you’re in for funsies

      Tldr; Don’t Be Poor

      I went to the ER uninsured the other day. The total came out to about 1,700 for an EKG, two blood oxygen tests, and a doctor to say ”lol ur young you’ll be fine”.

      Thankfully the uninsured discount they gave me dropped the price to about $650 which would have been the same as the shitty insurance my work offers.

      Always have an oh shit fund kids.

    Actually they don’t just let you die. They save your life and then you spend the rest of your life in crippling debt, wishing they had just let you die.

        The real answer to this is hospitals would never let a good cash cow die. Hospitals will not refuse treatment just drown you in debt for the rest of your life.

        They only care before you’re born. After the damage is done to the mother you’ve fulfilled your purpose.

        You cannot die, that would be amoral and unethical.

        Instead you must live on with mountains of medical debt, sickly and defeated

          Now that’s true patriotism! If only we could saddle our children with this same debt after we die from the failing healthcare system. ‘Merica!

    This is a serious misconception. In the us medical professionals are obligated to provide care regardless of if you can pay or not.

      Only to the point where you won’t imminently die. You’re not going to get chemotherapy though if you’re dying of cancer, so yes they will let you die.

    Canada- You wanna die? Perrrfect.

    As for the US if you’re working, you should have insurance. Thank Obama if you do not. I vividly remember when he screwed that shit up.

    As for Europe, good luck.
