No, according to many people here, you can go to any hospital, and they must treat you, so you’re OK.

//I am sorry. I am, in fact, being an asshole, but it is not aimed at your situation, Walter, just at an irritating talking point. I’m sorry about your coverage. You might call Catholic Charities in your area and see if they have any ideas for you.

Interesting… all down this thread people have referred me to already existing Medicaid, charities programs, recommend I call the pharmaceutical companies who sometimes offers discount priced drugs, Colorado state agencies, churches and other organizations that may be able to help.

What’s interesting about that? Well, I have a simple situation. I loss access to my medical coverage about 3 weeks ago. And I’m out of work too and I have no sort of income. I suggest that my situation is rather common, and rather simple.

What’s interesting about that? The administration is about to pass a 985 billion dollar health care bill, and no one has been able to show me where or how, in this massive bill, how my simple little, commonplace problem could be solved by this bill.

So… if there is all these existing sources that have been recommended to help solve my problem, what is this bill really for?

Makes you wonder.
