If you have no health insurance and you need an operation?

can a hospital deny you care? Can they put a lien on your home if you can't pay the hospital bill?
--------------------
In US jurisdictions hospitals are not allowed to deny basic emergency care to sexual assault victims, pregnant women in labor, and those for whom denial of care would likely result in death or serious injury. (Hospitals without emergency departments --- such as most psychiatric facilities -- are exempt,of course.) As to extent of the emergency care, it is generally held to mean at least "stabilize and transfer". Beyond that, they most certainly CAN deny treatment, and can do whatever is necessary and lawful to secure payment for services. So -- the answer to both of your questions is YES.
