In indigent care...we sort of have this to a very limited degree in
some areas of the country, and for some illnesses, but there are many in
need of serious or long-term treatment who are simply turned down or
turned away. This is especially true in the arena of mental illness and
treatment for addictions.

If you read the fine print, many who think they are insured, aren't for
many mental illnesses. Insured or not, when dealing with health care,
many of us are in for a wake-up call when health care is needed.
