So what does happen if an uninsured person has an accident, and an emergency ambulance is called? What if it was a broken leg, for instance. Do the EMTs walk away if the patient cannot pay? (I suggest a broken leg because you're likely to be concious and thus discussions pertaining to payment could take place)

I CBA to look it up.



Generally speaking, hospitals are legally obligated to treat a person regardless of their ability to pay. The cost is then either billed to the recipient of the treatment, or passed on to people who pay insurance to the providers who own the hospitals.

what if you dont have insurance and cant pay? and got some serious damage to them. and it would cost alot to fix


Then you get yourself a bank loan, or have a credit card or two handy. The lucky ones have an inheritance or generous parents that will take out a second mortgage on their house.
