I just checked my e-mail and no news yet. all i know is he got up in the morning and couldn't breath so he called 911 and they admitted him after 5 hours in the ER. When i spoke to him on the phone a few days ago he sounded relay bad like he hada bad cold. If i hear any thing i will let ya all know. His son did say he was sitting up eating cold hospital food the night he had to go in so hopefully he will be good as new in no time.

Missy used her pull and got me Larangers room phone number so i gave him a call, he sounds bad, he has got in his words crud in his lungs. they have him on breathing treatments, its helping but it is a slow prosess. My phone went dead when i was talking to him so ill try to give him a call later.

Max can you please explain what you mean by a rip-off to pay medical bills please?. In the UK we have the NHS "National Health Service" which means our taxes we pay through our wages pay for our medical bills.

in other words you basically can't come out of the hospital for less than $3,000. An average ambulance ride costs over $800, so most people have to drive themselves to the hospital. The reason that they can make them so expensive is because if you don't pay them, you die. That is one reason that health care reform is such a big topic in America today.

I wish that were true tigger but I am afraid that you are in for a rude awaking on day. Also the insurance you have determines to a large degree the level of care you get. We are not talking about the VA.

It is the EMTALA Law if you care to look it up. When I became a Paramedic i had to read and sign this law to get my license, if I refuse to treat some one or give them transport to the hospital I lose my license and pay a fine and could spend 25 yrs in jail. If the hospital has the means to treat you they must treat you , if they do not have the means they must transport you to a hospital that can.

Are there such things as free hospitals in American for the not so well off?. I'm sure as there is here, as the poorer groups of people, who just wouldn't be able to afford medical bills.

Large citys have some free clinic that people can go to but going to a hospital your going to be charged a bill.

The US has nothing like NHS or HealthCanada, Mart, let alone systems like they have in Germany, France, the Nederlands or Scandinavia. The closest we have is MedicAid which is really only for the poorest and that is hard to get, usually requiring a couple years pursuing coverage before winding up before an administrative law judge (same with Social Security disability insurance). Through our health care debacle last year, I was regularly corresponding with friends & family in London & Ottawa about their systems. My cousin in London, a Tory, is more inclined to see NHS expanded than reduced, and my friend in Ottawa (Labour) would prefer kinks worked out with the way HealthCanada operates, but she's happy to have it, especially since she gave birth just a few weeks ago to her second child. As for the clinics, I know San Francisco has had free clinics since at least the 60s, I think LA likewise. I'm not sure about most of the rest of the country, but imagine Tigger's right, that they are out there. But I live in Reno and am unaware of any free clinics hereabouts. We do have a VA hospital though which I've heard good things about. But back to the original point, Tigger's right they can't refuse to treat you, but even if you're poor, they're going to try and collect by hook or by crook afterward. Its funny, but I knew this person who treated veterans who went to Kazakhstan for a conference to discuss treating PTSD and her experience w/ Vietnam Vets and psych counselors in the USSR treating Afghani vets broke her ankle and was treated immediately, no charge. Its a side note, but folks outside the US might find it interesting to note that maternity leave has only been guaranteed in the US since 1993, and that for 12 weeks unpaid, while in Canada women receive approx. 55% pay for up to 50 weeks; Mexico requires 100% pay for 12 weeks; the UK has a complicated system that lasts up to 52 weeks at 90% pay; Russia has a sliding scale system that lasts up to 18 months & 50% & up to 100% pay; Germany offers up to 14 weeks at something like 67-84% pay; Italy offers up to 22 weeks at 34% pay, if I understand things right (part of this came from a National Geographic table that simplified things a bit, so there may be some flux there I'm unaware of) My own opinion on the whole thing I'll keep to myself rather turn this into a political, economic or moral debate. I'm just happy your ok, Laranger. Reast easy & welcome home! Last edited by geolarson2; 07-12-2010 at 02:35 AM. |

Sorry tigger I did misunderstand your post. You are correct. What I should have said is...if the condition is non life threatening and you are uninsured the hospital will require you to make arrangements for payment of services before you are treated.
