#NowPlaying Rose Golden de Kid Cudi • THE STORY OF THE CHOSEN!
Word
HOSPITALS. ARE. ALREADY. REQUIRED. UNDER. LAW. TO. PROVIDE. LIFE. SAVING. EMERGENCY. CARE. REGARDLESS. OF. ABILITY. TO. PAY. OR. EVEN. CITIZENSHIP.
Stop acting like Americans have no access to emergency healthcare unless we socialize medicine.
IF. YOU. GO. AND. CAN’T. PAY. YOU’RE. STILL. THOUSANDS. IN. DEBT. THIS. IS. NOT. ACCESS.
This hospital in my city just threw out a homeless man
The hospital which took me in after I collapsed from the fist sized tumor over my heart, released me after refusing to diagnose it as cancer, which would have forced them to give me some kind of treatment. The doctor at the county hospital which took me in looked at their tests and said, “this is CLEARLY cancer, why didn’t they diagnose it? We can’t let you leave.”
Hospitals find ways when they want to, to avoid helping people when they want to.
“Oh that’s illegal, you should sue” “ with what money and how will I get the time and energy when I’m busy recovering from chemo?”
People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.
Absolutely this: “People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.”
Does the OP think people are just imagining this crap for fun? Like if they just yell at us loudly enough it’ll be like, “Oh, okay, I guess things are fair, after all. I guess I imagined all those times the health care system prioritized money over my life.”
Hell even if you CAN pay, there’s huge disparities based on what kind of insurance you have. There’s doctors and hospitals that refuse to take Medicaid, sometimes Medicare too. And when the know you’re a Medicaid or Medicare patient, they often treat you differently. Sometimes in ways that kill you. So don’t try and tell me that without insurance altogether, everything’s peachy, because it’s not. Not even when you can get treatment at all.
