Honestly, isn’t that obvious? I’m not taking you to task either. For crying out loud, this has reached the point where it’s damned absurd.
No, those hospitals can’t work for free. So what they do is charge you or your insurance a higher rate to cover those who can’t pay.
They either do that or start using the cheapest ass stuff they can find to fulfill your medical needs.
They either do that, or they close the service.
We had seven trauma centers close in the Los Angeles area over an eighteen month period about five years ago.
Now citizens can’t get services either. They have to be transported farther distances risking death, because the illegals closed those trauma centers. I will say that our own indigent populace was pulling the same routine the illegals were too. They couldn’t pay, and were helping to bleed these centers dry.
It’s maddening to watch this play out.
Don’t forget the ER doctor is a separate bill ,billed by dr’s, so went the dr sents out their bills, they do not get paid.They are making them work for free.
