> > "They didn't pay, so they die." > This isn't a thing in the US. Hospitals will stabilize anyone, regardless of ability to pay. It's weird that you think you've offered a retort here. A person who cannot afford medical treatment and experiences one or more of these emergency room visits followed by immediate discharge as soon as legally permissible is likely to die before their time, perhaps shortly after being discharged. > First responders- police, ambulance, fire fighters- will save any life they are able to. They do that sometimes when it suits them, but they certainly aren't legally obligated to.
