Here in America if you go to a hospital emergency room seeking care, they are legally not permitted to turn you away. This includes those of questionable citizenship and those that have no way of paying for the care.When you finally check out of the hospital, and if you have insurance, you will receive a bill showing you what your insurance covered and what amount is still your out-of-pocket responsibility.  Now here is the part many people don't hear about. You never have to pay this off. As long as you set up a good faith payment agreement of at least $1.00 a month and then follow through and make this payment to the hospital (which is now your creditor) for the duration (i.e. till death) no one will sue you or anything else. One of the growing trends we have over here due to how our hospitals provide care is we see people no longer visit family care doctors and specialists, they just go right to the hospital and use a fake name and no ID. And walk out with a filled script for antibiotics or painkillers. Sad really... but I guess most people will always choose the path of least resistance when it comes to their health care.</blockquote>
