    Emergenty rooms in hospitals are legaly required to help all patieints, so you would recieve care. Usually until you are able to leave the hospital. You would not receive followup care without going to the emergecy room, or paying cash. You would be billed for all services, usually at a higher rate than insured patients

      What kind of care is the question. Often times stabilize and terf em is the name of the game.

        My wife worked in the ER for a few months and had to change departments because of a mental breakdown.

        Understaffed, abused, and a huge chunk of people who are in the ER are desperate and came there as a last resort because of our fucked up healthcare system.

        Not to mention the unstable. Say what you want, but I can count a dozen times where patients threatened to harm my wife for providing care.
