Need HELP Now!!!?

your appendix has burst.You go to the ER and do not have the ability to pay.You are foreign to this country.Should you be treated?

Answer:
Point taken.Don't we boast in being a great humanitarian? Your right, NO ONE is denied medical attention, regardless of status.I guess some would be perfectly happy with having a China, communist way of life here, as long as those illegals don't get treated, we would sell out our own country, for so much hate...
Of course.

Emergency rooms are for emergencies, how the expense will be covered is something that is dealt with later.
Yes.
Doctors can't refuse to treat someone unfortunatly.
Let me run your ID through INS and I will get back to you.
I suppose you are talking about illegal immigrants? I just propsed the idea of having ICE agents at all the hospitals. Checking validity of ID. Making it the choice of illegal immigrants.
Legal immigrants would have no fear of seeing the doctor.
But should this country pay for your surgery when the person broke into it? Nope.
If I break into your home, will you pay for me to get surgery? Or my food? My clothes? My education?
I thought not.
You wouldn't be on mytend.com writing this silly question if your appendix burst.
Of course you should be treated at the ER. However, if you are here as an illegal immigrant, you should then be immediately deported as soon as your condition has been stabilized. If you are a foreigner visiting here legally, you should have medical travel insurance to cover such emergencies. If not, you should be billed for your care and you should have to pay up or be deported immediately after you are stabilized and never allowed back into the country until you have paid your medical bill.
Its all that spicy food you eat.
foreigners get better help then the real Americans. dont sweat it. YOUR APPENDIX IS BURSTING NOW? and youre chatting on line?
In that situation you have NO choice and Doctors in any civilized country will take a lot of fire if they refuse to treat a dying individual for monetary reasons. If you can hold out you can seek help at a military post ran by your country of origin.
It is an emergency.

They should be treated and stabilized.

If they are illegal, they should then be deported.
Yes you should be treated. However, you must be held responsible for your bill regardless of ability to pay. No free ride!
You should be treated, but after that you should be deported! No damn free passes for illegals!
You should watch the new Michael Moore movie, Sicko and see what medical care other countries provide for Americans while they're in their country...yup...free medical care. Cuba, France and Canada...why aren't they complaining like us?
Sure you should be treated and stabilized then you and your family put on a slow boat back to were you came from and the next time you sneak back in illegally you should be dealt with harshly very harshly.
You should receive treatment but should still be billed and make an attempt to pay.

The key word is "attempt to pay."

Illegal aliens never attempt to pay, they only take, take, take.
I say no.

ER is for emergencies but it's paid by someone. That someone has to decide whether to treat you or not.
Same for the doctor. If the doctor feels compelled to treat you for whatever reason, he can do it but not using the time someone else is paying for nor the resources (building, instruments, medications, etc).

Social health care is a money pit abused by everyone. If I pay for health care I want it for me. I'm willing to pay extra to help those who don't have the means nor the way to get them. But it's still my money and, if I see that the system is abused, I want my money out of it.

Those who say Yes can put money to support a health care system open to everyone without restrictions. It's your money, it's your call.
lol, how did an American with no money get into China.
Yes of course even if you are in a different country you are still human. In US no one can be refused medical treatment at an ER with or without insurance.
If going to China I would have money for things that may come up..
Yes. I believe every human should have medical access.It should just be another human right. You can pay for it later when you are well again. My step-dad was a Navy Medic in WW11 and in the Korean War. He treated people from both sides. It was the only thing that kept him going.It is not about race or payment, every life is valuable.
i would ask for help from usa they alway will help fund people in need.yes i would go
I'm also a hospital worker. Those "illegal aliens" attempt to pay more often than lazy Americans.

I don't know about China, or any other country, but here, you have to treat everyone with an emergency, and appendicitis is an emergency. To turn someone away for inability to pay if they are having an acute emergency is a violation of EMTALA laws.

I treat everyone with equal respect at my job, but if there were any subset of people that I could force to never set foot in my hospital again, it'd be the lazy, entitlement-minded, voluntarily uneducated, system-sucking AMERICANS.
