Thanks Ode. I have not been in that position yet and had not really investigated it. Actually I should have refrained from answering anything at all.

Show up at any "public" hospital in America and you'll get treatment..minimal perhaps and sometimes a good thing, but they don't turn anyone away.
This is a big part of the illegal immigrant issue.
An independent treatment center , essentially a full service doctors office, might not treat you if you have no means of support, but generally will negotiate a payment plan if you have a job.

They might give you a ride to an emergency room though...just to keep you from bleeding on their carpet. Even they aren't likely to kick you out into the street with a busted leg or in the middle of a heart attack.
 They'll at least call an ambulance.  EMS doesn't turn people away either.

No, the hospital will not go on treating you if you run out of money. Not a chance. No one that I know of will treat you if you do not have money or insurance.

I am interested in all this as an outsider. What would you do if you had to have long term health care though? Would the hospital go on treating you if you ran out of money for instance? Here in the UK we have access to health care all the time as we have a National Health service which we all pay into automatically. You can pay for private health care though, if you wish. Doesn't get you a better doctor; just gets you seen to quicker. Just wondering. Dee

I find this alarming as I am one who opted to drop my insurance over a year ago. I haven't used it in many years and just because I had another birthday they wanted to raise my rates to well over 600/mo !!!! ( My total monthly income after taxes is only a little over $1000.00 how can I possibly afford this insurance?) I find this totally unacceptable and chose to opt out since I don't use it anyways. Now if this becomes the trend its just one

more freedom denied the american public.
