Like I said, I believed that hospitals were under an obligation to save people. I remembered reading the sign assuring emergency treatment regardless of ability to pay at my local hospital when I was becoming a socially conscious person when I was quite young. Whenever severe illness or injury struck my family or I, we always received full medical treatment. My grandmother was in a car accident about ten years ago and in a coma for weeks(and recovered, living at home, although much frailer). The hospital bill was over $300,000, but it never had occurred to me that someone whose family had no chance at paying would be left to die.
