Absolutely not true. I don't know what is wrong with people. There is a great walk-in clinic near our office that charged me $25 (for real) for my last visit. they don't require insurance or anything like that. I asked the guy to be my regular doctor. He actually has a tiki bar in his office for Tuesday nights. And yes, I have been to some places that have charged me $300-500/visit (A fee PLUS a doctor's fee). I wised up. People will shop around for anything but medical care it seems.

This is so true....my son was born 10 weeks early and we were between providers...wifes water broke at 27 weeks...they rushed her to a hospital 60 miles away that was equipped to deal with the situation....where she stayed for 3 weeks...then my sone stayed in NICU for 59 days...
without paying ...AND NO INSURANCE...to the tune of over 200K....
the case of the child with a 103 temperature was probaby more about miscommunication than inability to pay.....i have NEVER been turned away from a hospital for an emergency...EVER.
transplant surgery or elective suguries i am sure are different...but i am also fairly sure you can get treatment in these instances.....
it is all about the hospital YOU choose to go to.

I taught high-school for a year after college. What a sorry group of teachers we have here in the US. It amazed me how such low quality people were being attracted to the field.
