There are millions of individuals of all age groups without any health insurance to help them as they go about their daily lives. Where do individuals and families go when they need medical health care and they have no health insurance coverage? You certainly are not able to visit the local medical physician in your neighborhood because the first question you are asked is who is your health insurance carrier?
When you explain you are without medical health insurance at this time, but you are able to pay cash for the medical physician’s services you are still refused an appointment, so where do you turn? Most individuals who are alone will turn to their local drug store and scour the shelves to see what is available for their own health care practices.
Other individuals with young children will turn to the emergency rooms of the local community hospital and hope their children will be afforded the needed health care and medication they so desperately need. You wonder why the local community hospitals are always filled to capacity in the waiting room.
You will find the health insurance industry played a role in causing this build-up by negotiating with the health care providers to the point where they are not allowed to take in a patient, treat them, and accept a cash payment. Oh have we come a long way when the medical health care provider could make house calls without asking if you have any low cost health insurance to cover the expenses.
When you listen to the news reports, you will hear from time to time how we, as a nation have come a long way in the health insurance industry, yet have we. If you are unable to pull out your health insurance card to prove you still have health insurance coverage you are blatantly turned away with the suggestion you visit your local community hospital.
Private hospitals in your local area will refuse you medical health care assistance faster than any medical health care provider so be sure you visit your local community hospital if you want an opportunity to see a medical health care physician. This includes children too and makes the entire situation very sad.
When you have a parent taking a child to the emergency room for medical health care do you think they stop to read the sign on the front of the building to see if it is a community hospital or a private hospital? Of course not, the child may have sustained a broken arm or broken leg while attending school and all the parent wants to do is get their child medical health care as quickly as possible.
Sadly, this same occurrence happens every day of the week to many parents at a time when they are upset because their child is hurt. To have everyone in the medical health care community turn his or her back on you is a travesty that is unacceptable, yet it still happens. Why is the medical health care community exempt when it comes to the private hospitals?
