I can tell you that is what happens at the Danbury Hospital. It depends for its healthy finances on donations from rich people and many volunteers who work for nothing. On top of that they charge $5.00 per aspirin for people who can pay.
Hospitals are not even allowed to ask an emergency patient his nationality, citizenship or anything else. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Madigan" <[email protected]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 3:39 PM Subject: RE: RE: [OT] Serious legal challenges to Health Bill Another reason why you shouldn't talk about a country you know nothing about. In the United States it is illegal for a hospital to refuse to provide emergency care. If I have no assets there is nothing on earth they can do to compel you to pay. They can put a mark on my credit report, they can sue me, they can put a lien against property, they can attach bank accounts, but if I have no assets or keep all my assets in cash, there is nothing they can do. The doctors and hospital eventually write it off as a business loss. --- On Thu, 11/11/10, geoff <[email protected]> wrote: > From: geoff <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: RE: [OT] Serious legal challenges to Health Bill > To: "'ProFox Email List'" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 3:17 PM > Yeah im sure you can get away with > not paying your bills... > > Geoff Flight > General Manager > > Sustainable Resources Industry Training Pty Ltd > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf > Of Michael Madigan > Sent: Friday, 12 November 2010 6:44 AM > To: ProFox Email List > Subject: RE: RE: [OT] Serious legal challenges to Health > Bill > > Everybody has access.
