The US could institute the most socialized health care system in the

It's selective editing on the Assistant Paste Eater's part.

Trauma treatment does not rely on "insurance" for treatment. ER
Trauma centers only treat and stabilize. Once the patient is stable
enough to further testing and treatment, they are moved to the
appropriate facility or in-hospital ward.

What happens at that point may be due to insurance, but the initial ER
treatment has nothing to do with stabilization and life saving.

DILDO:

Please pay attention. Among the things that happen is that people
with serious injuries go to the wrong hospitals and aren't admitted
because they don't have insurance.

If all were insured, the instances where people went to the nearest ER
wouldn't have an impact on their survival rate.

Secondly, even if they do go to the ER with life threatening
circumstances, they may have other uknown medical conditions that are
unrelated to the visit but impact the outcome. A situation brought on
by the fact that they haven't been seen regularly by a primary care
physician

Hello? Are you listening?

What should we call your faction? DDD for deaf dumb and blind?

I have lived in several state and have have seen people admitted and
receive treatment at hospitals WITH NO INSURANCE. If you believe people
in need of emergency medical care are turned away from a hospital you
must not live in the United States.

Indigent people become the ward of the township/county depending on
where you live. As wards of the township/county, the government insures
they receive the proper treatment.

If you don't believe this look up the county, township or state laws on
indigent care.

You have been listening to the obamodytes too long.

There are myriad private hospitals which will not admit patients
without insurance.

There are designated hospitals in every area of the country that are
public hospitals which are mandated to take anyone, no matter the
circumstances.

You need to brush up on your vast knowledge of hospitals and admitting
practices.

Secondly, most visits to the hospital aren't by indigants. They're
working and working poor who do not have coverage.

You need to take a wake up pill or maybe smell the coffee?

If they have an emergency room they will treat you insured or not. Law
requires stabilization. They will ship you off to the county hospital at
first chance, but if they refuse to treat you they will be a broke and non
accredited hospital.
