Question: I know that Medical facilities must treat emergency patients without insurance, but what about long term care.?
For instance, if a patient without insurance goes into the ER with elbow pain, and it turns out they have cancer, are the medical practitioners required to treat the cancer as well.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
