Emergency care isn't the same as medical care. Medical care starts with a general physical exam to determine your current state of health. As a result of that exam, you will be prescribed medicines, as appropriate, to treat conditions like high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, for example. Maybe they'll find a small tumor. They'll test it to see if it's cancerous. If so, they will prescribe treatment that could include chemotherapy or radiation treatments. That non-emergency medical care is intended to keep you out of the emergency room. With no healthcare insurance, you will just have to wait for your heart or that tumor to explode before going to the ER so they can tell you or your family it's way too late.
