I'll have to check that out. My primary care physician is located at a teaching hospital that is surrounded by extreme poverty. A few years ago he said that I was one of the few patients that have insurance, and one of the few that comes in for preventative treatment (no surprise, given the lack of insurance). This isn't emergency treatment though, this is normal doctors stuff, the hospital he works for makes a point of treating everyone. Even so, my last visit was less than $100, including blood work. There wasn't even an in-network discount or anything. So I doubt I'm subsidizing anyone, and I don't think the hospital is suffering too much from treating everyone.
