I can’t go to the hospital 1/2 from me in Colorado Springs for ER or any testing w/out the first question is “Health Ins. card and OFFICIAL I.D.” Not even a “please”! If you don’t have either 1 you have to sit with their Insurance gods and they immediately put you on a payment plan AFTER you show proof of EMPLOYMENT AND/OR Unemployment status with paystub! Then if you are approved before you collapse or bleed out 🩸 they allow you to be seen “after any other patients who might need more urgent care!”, which is hospitalese for “after the other people who already paid or have insurance”!
