Exactly. Hospital emergency rooms must treat people who cannot and will not pay.
Couple years ago I suffered a mini-stroke after a chiropractor twisted my neck too hard.
Went to the ER where, theoretically, I should have been seen *immediately* to receive the shot that minimizes stroke damage, ~if~ it’s given within a two hour “window”.
*Seven hours later*, after all the “protected classes” had their snotty noses and belly aches attended to, I was sent for an MRI.
Too late to “see” anything and way too late for the ‘miracle shot’.
Living with after effects.
Hope all those parasites ahead of me enjoy their lives.
*My* ER copay was $100, besides the costs for the now-useless tests.
How much did they cough up, that night?
Hubby and I were the only two there who were melanin-challenged.
We didn’t matter.
