Appreciate the NHS everyone on 15:13 - Dec 26 by Illinoisblue
The system here is terrible in many ways although this is more to do with admin errors between the two insurance companies.
Fair enough. Didn't read the detail carefully enough but did see there was some confusion.
What is the situation where someone needs medical treatment and cannot pay? Do some providers refuse treatment? Is there like a charitable system that steps in if the patient can get there before it is too late?
I cannot understand how anyone can think anything other than a state- (i.e. tax)-funded system is the best way.

Most cities have clinics and/or hospitals that are designated for the uninsured. You can draw your own conclusions if they provide as good as care as you might find in hospitals catering for those with insurance.
