My son was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital twice. I asked the staff why I was not asked for insurance information on both occasions and I was told that I would not be asked until later or before release. That was in 07 and 08. I was told they cannot ask due to anti-descrimination policies.

Of course hospitals are private businesses, and that was the policy there.

Of course hospitals are private businesses,

I believe the hospital there in Maryvale (51st and Maryland?) is a county facility. Perhaps coincidentally, my family and many of our friends and acquintances call that hospital Scaryvale.
