Hospitals
Operation Of Clinics And Hospitals
American hospitals are usually very good and very well equipped.
However, many hospitals are saturated with the treatment to uninsured
patients, so most Americans prefer to be treated in a private hospital.
If you are admitted to a private hospital you will receive one of the best
treatments in the world, but it will be extremely expensive. Only the cost
of the room can amount to $ 1,000, not including treatment, diagnostic
tests or medicines. Therefore, you should make sure you have enough
coverage in your health insurance, hospital admission or you will very
expensive.
If you do not have health insurance, you will most likely have to pay a
deposit of several thousand dollars for you from entering the hospital. If
you can not pay, the hospital will not accept you.
In the case of a serious emergency, they will take you to the nearest
(public or private) hospital, even if you have insurance and can not pay.
However, keep in mind that "very serious" refers only to cases of life or
death. If you break your leg in a car accident, it is not considered very
serious, probably survive but might not ever walk properly anymore.
If you take a private hospital, you will probably move to a public once your
situation has stabilized. Public hospitals offer treatment in day hospital
uninsured patients without asking for payment. However, these
treatments are often very basic and even inadequate and waiting lists are
very long. Public hospitals are unable to carry the millions of uninsured,
and the situation is getting worse due to the increase in "homeless",
AIDS, drugs and immigration. Even if you receive treatment in a public
hospital, you will be billed a posteriori. If you can not pay, the hospital will
have no choice but to sue you (even if you have nothing) for the
government to pay them. If you still can not pay, the court will rule against
you and this ruling will remain for years.
We hope that after reading this section will make clear the message - do
not ever go to the United States without proper health insurance. If you do
not have insurance and need treatment, be prepared to live an ordeal.
