denied? what do you mean by that?yes, get insurance, if not, you gotta pay directly.......Yes, but that wasn't the discussion, it was what SHOULD happen.....And if you have neither they still treat you and pass the bill on to the rest of us

Are you saying what should happen is those that can’t pay get no care?

So. What you are saying is that someone that is denied insurance and does not have the money to pay the bill should receive no care at all?

Here is an example,
John Jacobs graduates college with a nice degree and goes to work for a small company that does not provide health insurance but offers him a nice salary of 30 grand a year. Mr Jacobs then goes to an insurance company and applies for medical insurance coverage. They look at his medical record and go "oh ,you have Type-1 diabetes, so we are forced to deny your application for insurance. Mr Jacobs goes to 10 other companies and they all tell him the same thing
Since he does not have insurance he chooses to use cheap WalMart insulin and 2 months later ends in the ER due to hyperglycemia. He is rushed to the hospital where they discover he has no insurance and does not have the available means to cover the ER visit or the 2 to 3 day stay that normally accompanies such an event.
At this point, should the hospital tell him to leave since he does not have the means to pay?
