in the world. We pay more but get worse coverage than any other developed country. Here the right has turned selfishness and childishness into virtues and we refuse to have a health care system that people can afford. I'm going to check with the local hospital. I didn't think a hospital can legally refuse to treat you, and if you do not have insurance I believe they have to work with you, or end up getting nothing and writing it off.
