My efforts to PARF-up the other thread failed. I must be slipping. At any rate, I have a question for the PP Braintrust.
Let's say somebody goes to the ER with a complaint and they find there is artery congestion. Patient needs a stint or something. Patient is not old enough for Medicare or whatever and has no insurance. What happens? Or perhaps the problem is a tumor or whatever. A procedure is necessary. Is the patient out of luck, or does the patient get some modicum of medical care to take care of the problem? I'm not talking about heart/lung transplants here. I'm not talking about extraordinary care. I'm talking about a procedure that should cost $500 or $5000, not a million dollars. Is the patient SOL?
Oh, and BTW, I wasn't really trying on the other thread. I still got it.
