Those who can't pay don't get their care for free. They'll be hounded by debt collectors the rest of their life, whatever credit they had will be trashed, and some will be pushed into bankruptcy. We are all paying for it.

- dsfyu404ed 9y agoI don't see why you're getting down-voted. If you've got "bad" insurance that fake ID from college and memorizing 12 random digits is probably more useful when it comes to emergency care. Sad but true.
- watwut 9y agoIt has zero to do with problems of people who don't lie. None at all. And mojority don't. It amounts to "situation is ok, because I can point to some fraudster that is not suffering". What exactly that has to do with someone being haunted for debt? Or is he suggesting you should fraud ER and you are suckers if you don't?
- praneshp 9y agoI wish I could upvote you twice to help with the other downvotes. I know of at least 3 cases so far where folks walk into ER and lie about who they are when they leave. All of the cases are because of no health insurance, but they aren't hounded by any debt collectors.
