Life Without Health Insurance

By Ethan Kalvin

There are quite a number of people struggling with a particular worry as they go through their daily duties. These are the folks not covered by any health insurance plan.

They don't prefer to have it this way, they would much rather have family insurance coverage if they could afford it. But this is not the case and it is a burden for them as they never know if someone is going to have an accident or illness, and then how do they pay for that care.

When our citizens don't have health insurance, they delay treatment on anything unless it's critical. Doctor's are not usually an option for the uninsured, the emergency department is where they go to get medical attention.

This is because most doctors don't want to see them unless they have health insurance or can afford to pay for their services at the time of the visit, and most of those who can't afford insurance, can't afford to pay up front either.

There the emergency department serves as a last chance for those who are uninsured. Unfortunately by the time some people come into the ER they are more seriously ill than if they had been maintained by a physician over time. These conditions may have steadied or improved if they had been able to go to the doctor.
