FWIW, If a hospital in the US turns you away because
you don't have some form of insurance on you, they
will be in some serious legal trouble. I have gone
through phases where I did not have health insurance
and needed medical attention. The various places were
happy to work out a payment schedule when the bill
came and I was not able to pay the full amount
immediately.

With all due respect, yours may or may not be the answer for all hospitals
particularly out-of-town ones. This topic is completely relevant to VPFree
because it has to do with whether or not to take identifying documents into
casinos which are potentially risky places for theft and pretty much all of us
go into casinos.

If you're unhappy with the topic, just use your ignore or delete button.
