My wife's a nurse...

...as you may or may not recall, and she has offered support for what TB is saying. She's been in the biz for about 15 years or so and says she's never seen a patient turned away for inability to pay, and wouldn't want to work for an organization that might do so.

OTOH, she as well as the rest of us have heard the stories about it or have read the ocassional article. It makes me wonder how often it does happen. The only answer I can come up with right now is...I don't know (try doing net research on your phone...it sucks).

Having said all that, both my wife and I would like to see *something* in place to ensure care for everyone, especially in terms of preventative and non-emergency care. The recent collapse of the system in Hawaii could probably provide some lessons. Nothing succeeds avoiding failure!
