In most situations medicare covers the hospital 100% for uninsured emergency visits, i believe that theirs even a special set aside fund to cover this. The hospital staff who didn’t properly assess this patient, because she became a patient when she walked into the emergency room door, are at fault. And when they called the cops to throw her out, they defacto assumed 100% liability, because they showed the medical incompetence of the staff, this was malpractice and malfeasance,and some attorney is going to get 40% of a pile o’cash.
She was 60. You have to be 65 to receive Medicare. She could have had Medicaid.
