they already are being treated
And suing the doctors for malpractice, too, as I recall
Many hospitals simply have shut down their emergency rooms to avoid this problem. They never get paid.
So..now if you really need an emergency room, you will be stuck at the county hospital competing with all the illegals for attention. Good luck, hope you don’t die in the process.
It is best to avoid an emergency room admission. You can do this by faking symptons and getting tested for various aliments before and emergency takes you to the emergency room. For instance..I just had a complete heart work up based on my complaint of frequency of chest pains and shortness of breath. I got a clean bill of health, and the knowledge that I won’t be going to the emergency room for a while. My max deductible for the year was used up..so all it cost me for tests was $60. Well worth it.
