Comment on Death Rates Rising for Middle-Aged White Americansparent

Comments

Hospitals here are not allowed to turn away those in need, even if they have no insurance.

What about the mentally ill unable to afford any mental health treatment or prescription coverage?

What about the terminally ill who will be turned away unless they wait until they are in critical or unstable condition (costing the hospital vastly more in treatment costs and endangering lives)?

Also, please speak to the statistics that show health care as the leading cause of bankruptcies in the US. If free care is so available, is it pure ignorance that is causing 3 of every 5 bankruptcies in the US?
