do you think they'd ask for his passport in hospiatal? trust me if he turned up at A&E in a hospital like Saint Thomas or something, I'm certain they would treat him

if he just turned up passed out on a stretcher Im sure they would treat him (just like if someone shows up at a hospital in the US on a stretcher they will treat them). If he walked in they might ask him for some form of ID and charge him for his visit.

In ERs in the US they are not allowed to ask for payment prior to you being seen by the doc. They can ask for registration info and all but the law changed on the payment. So anyone can show up at any ER and be treated without paying first.

In a labor and delivery setting, if you show up, we treat you. We don't ask for payment for that either. The hospital sends a bill afterwards. Although at a lot of hospitals if you don't have insurance or medicaide already set up when you check in, you will not get an epidural without up front payment of cash to the anesthesiologist. It is considered an elective procedure.

Thats even better...get treated first and then you HAVE to pay

Why not just be treated and let the tax payer foot the bill

We do end up footing the bill. People don't pay all of those hospital bills. Or they make a payment plan that has them paying $25 a month on a bill that is well over $100,000. Or in some NICU preemie baby cases....a million or so.
