So did a number of regimes in Europe and Asia over the past 100 years (value some human lives over others). Most of us despise them. Apparently you are not one of those people.
I feel sad that people like you breed and pass on that mentality.
This brings up an interesting question - what laws are there in place if you did not ask to be treated but ended up in the emergency room because of a call by another person? If I got that bill (which would most likely put me in debt for a long ass time) in such a scenario I would be like - F-off!
Well aren’t you a sweet one.
Have you considered a DNR tattoo on your forehead so that the healthcare system can move onto someone else?
As I stated to others, most, if not all, at least the ones I've seen in Florida, urgent care facilities carry the same name as the hospitals they are associated with. They advertise heavily to go there. I would presume that would also include triage, but it appears it is a way hospitals can get around the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act.
That, in my view, borders on the criminal.
All the urgent care facilities that I have seen in FL have been right next to the hospital.
They have signs right there that explain the difference, local one has an example.
Just as Canadians do not understand the American tendency towards "what have you done for me in the last five minutes"?
Why not ask the 6 embassy staffers Canadians sheltered at risk of their lives for months in Iran if they think Canada is relevant.
OR you could ask the 33,000 Americans deemed too great a threat to their own country to allow entering their airspace and running out of fuel that Canada gave shelter whether they think of Canada as irrelevant.
OR you could ask any number of hurricane or tornado victims like those in remote parishes of New Orleans after Katrina for just one example, if the first responders lifting them from rooftops using helicopters with the maple leaf on the side, then getting medical attention by Canadian military who arrived there BEFORE FEMA got out of it's own parking lot if they think Canada has no relevance.
But then again, don't bother. Being Americans, they've probably all forgotten already.
When I was a an LASD deputy, i probably had to respond to bazillion welfare check like this “unresponsive transient/homeless person on public street”. LAFD also came and hauled the homeless guy to the hospital if it’s life threatening. It’s a federal law.
First, thank you for protecting all of us.
A complete and utter waste of time, effort, energy and money to "save" those losers. Let their lifestyles and choices kill them. Again, it's natural selection at its finest.
When I went septic, I was doing fine 8 hours before. I've been through this... in Canada. I was on the operating table within an hour of going to the hospital.
That was 16 years ago. I didn't even have to think about turning up at the doctor, who immediately got me to the hospital, and care started. No waits, no worries about health care insurance covering me, and no concerns about not being able to have to pay.
Same here when I had emergencies for my heart, broken bones.
