As an er physician i can assure you that we do not look at people's income or insurance. So that is wrong. Sure we make mistakes - we are human afterall and don't have a crystal ball. But if we miss something it i not deliberately orchestrated because "you are poor " or you don't have insurance
I wasn’t clear enough. I meant that if one is poor and doesn’t have health insurance, one often doesn’t go in for regular check ups or turn to their doctor regularly. So by the time the illness is caught in the ER/ by the time one is actively having a heart attack, for example- it may be too late.
Actually because people have health insurance they don't end up going to the doctor - because of high copays.
I see people without insurance day in and day out. When you start being in the middle class and paying for your insurance that's when all the issues happen. Poor folk arguably have more freedom then hard working middle class folk. But that's is my observation...
