    that’s one of the many neat ways that you can get treated and then charged millions of dollars instead of the other neat thing where they just refuse to treat you to begin with because your insurance daddy said no.

      This isn’t true, emergency rooms are required to provide care in a medical emergency

        then you misunderstand me, i’m specifically distinguishing emergency rooms (medical emergency that charges you a million) from non-emergency but necessary medical intervention (insurance daddy says no, your ankle is supposed to be like that)
