It does cost you money. Europe plays a different game than the US but both are games. Thanks to Kennedy no one can be turned away from the ER for lack of insurance and bills are paid off later for cents on the dollar if you have no assets. If you have assets and no insurance too bad.

I know a guy who was attacked, suffered head injuries, and couldn't remember who he was. He was patched up and discharged in that condition since he didn't have his insurance card on him (and, I assume, since a shirtless and beaten-looking guy with long hair is just assumed to be homeless). I am quite certain that behavior isn't typical of the hospitals in our area, but I bet it's totally legal. And a valuable cost-saving measure! An MBA somewhere is surely proud.
