If a person is poor in America, they can get all the medical treatment they need with Medicaid.

One trick many people don't know -- almost everybody with cancer and no health insurance will qualify for Medicaid.

I learned this from trying to help a lady who was thinking about filing bankruptcy because she didn't have any insurance and her daughter had brain cancer, and she couldn't pay for the treatments.

The place I learned it from was the hospital itself, when I called the billing department to get a breakdown on the costs due. They had all the forms for the mother to fill out.

Another way to get treatment is to go to a hospital emergency room. A US statute, EMTALA, requires the hospital to treat patients in the emergency room, even if they don't have insurance.
