They don’t get denied. They show up at the ER and get taken care of if they can pay or not

Required by Federal law.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

I notice you still can’t refute the underlying reality, those who don’t pay for what they consume must be paid for by others.

I notice you haven't provide a single source that proves what you say is true.

You keep saying costs are higher, but thus far, that's just so much hot gas coming out of your nether region.

I'm done with you. I'll let you have the last word.

FRegards,

After yesterday the law is meaningless.

We now live in a post Constitution America, and there is no going back.

He should refuse to pay until proper law and order is restored.

[Red Badger]

He doesn’t have anything to worry about.

IIRC, Medical Bills do not affect your credit score any more, since the Dems and Biden changed the law, and they cannot be collected past 4 years.................

[usconservative]

You're correct, medical bills no longer affect credit scores, so nothing to worry about there.

Legally speaking, he's responsible. That's not a "technicality" according to the article, it's legal fact.

My now ex brother in law paid off tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills that insurance didn't cover when his wife passed away from pancreatic cancer back in 2008.

The fact of the matter is that marriage makes a husbband liable for all debt incurred by a wife and vice versa. Not sure if that's true in every state, here in HELLINOIS it absolutely does.

Most people grasp the concepts underlying the story of the Little Red Hen without so much hand holding.

What part of the fact there is no free lunch confuses you?

Do you think we can pass a law to make lunch free and suddenly lunch has no cost? Do you think politicians have that control over reality, or just your perceptions thereof?
