Scenario: US citizen family have a car accident and all are bleeding to death. They opted not to get any health insurance and they do not have money or other assets to pay for $80,000 ER bill. Should the hospital (a) let them all die or (b) just let the parents die or (c) teat them but make them pay off the bill over the rest of their lives?
--------------------
It was under Reagan that the bill was passed making it illegal to deny emergency treatment at hospitals in America due to no insurance. It was this bill that allowed emergency rooms to become clinics, leading to the cost surges we have today.
