>>>>>>> More crap, that's the first article that comes up on Google when you enter: ER "turn away". The point is it is an outlier. It is not the normal course of business. Out of millions of daily ER visits, seldom is anyone who is in true need turned away. Hell, your own article talked about 2% being turned away, and these weren't 2% of critically ill patients, but 2% of ALL presenting patients. These are not bad numbers. I seriously doubt any nation in the world can match them.

re: 1. You had to go back over a year to find an example. More crap, that's the first article that comes up on Google when you enter: ER "turn away". I could look at 30 or 50 other articles but I don't have the time or inclination... you now know it happens, which you denied before. Nothing new about that.......like I said, he plays fast and lose with the truth. And where are intellectually honest Jorj, LPbutthead, and LBJV when you need them for some policing action?! <g> ted

So assuming that he is not turned away, an uninsured person may not live through the experience, but he can take comfort in the knowledge that he can always get ER care when he is hit by a car or shows symptoms of advanced disease.
