I currently have no health insurance. When I go to the doctor, (general practitioner, or dermatologist for my psoriasis) I simply pay with credit or debit card. Cash or check is also acceptable but who uses these forms of payment anymore? Often they will give me a discount for not having insurance. (Less paper work) Pay for your services and there will be no problem. In fact if I have no major illness I come out better financially without insurance. I recomend having insuarance though.

In fact hospitals are FORBIDDEN to refuse treatment to anyone in an emergency situation. Every major city in the USA has a hospital that serves -- DEADBEATS.

I walked in told them I was paying cash and was seen in the usual time
About an hour after my appointment time

Once I went to the walk in clinic was seen in about ten minutes

One time I had strep throat but had to work any way and had no time to make a Dr appointment
I made my first job the county health clinic and was treated and charged according to my income, also took about an hour and was back to work

My niece, the welfare queen, just goes to the emergency room
They can not turn you away
They also do not give minimal care
She has been given tests my insurance would never authorize for a headache

There is no such thing as having health care unavailable to you in America

That is why Patient First and places of that nature make a killing...and they really don't do anything but give you a pill and tell you to go to your primary physician. That is exactly how it works.

You better have cash. No checks, No credit card, just CASH! It happens at the Doctors Office, Dentist, Hospital, all the time for me. Sad thing is, they know me and I pay my bills on time.
