You recon? they refused to treat my friend.
It's against US law not to treat you. If it's an emergency they will take you to hospital where you will get treatment. If you don't have medical insurance (either as a US citizen or a foreigner) you will transferred immediately to a walfare hospital. You will get treatment even if you can't pay. They will then pursue you to get paid. What you then do is buy insurance whilst you are there. This is much more expensive and will cover you for treatment once you have paid but not for any treatment that has already been given
If your friend was refused treatment then he/she was given the wrong advice as to how to deal with it. They do not let people die.
