gee. you should try to get medical care in the US withut insurance

ever try it?

Just show up at the emergency room. If you have a MediCal (welfare ) card,
you go to a doctors office. Not all doctors take MediCal but a large bunch
do.
How about facts from the State of California Government.

i'm an EMT. we take lots of cancer and heart patients to the ED.
unfortunately this is because they couldnt get medical care so a
treatable problem turned into an expensive emergency

if they survived at all.

so you're wrong

I guess the state of California is wrong. Their statement no mine. And if
you have no assets, you go on welfare. You are probably taking heart and
cancer people to emergency for emergency reasons. Not for normal care.

no, you dont 'go on welfare'. if you are unemployed you dont get ****.
you die.

and you seem not to understand that routine illnesses, left
unattended, often become emergencies...sometimes fatal



There's a myth perpetuated by the right that the gravely ill without
money or health insurance get good treatment by showing up at the ER.
That claim is just plain bull****. All they get, if they get treated at
all, is short term stabilization.

exactly right. we often transport the same people over a period of a
few weeks or even days because of untreatrd problems that were
stablized in the ED
