I have medicare and medicade .
They will help you with your serious health problems who don't work and don't have insurance, but it up to you to find a way to pay for the healthcare you receive
Doctors & Nurses have family and need an income too. Hospitals have utility bills that have to be paid. So yes we all need to pay for what we get.
They have payment plans and a financial hardship program. I have used both even with insurance. Call and ask to call with a financial counselor.
Yes, that should go the same for any hospital there never suppose to turn away an critically injured person. But yes duke is the best.
yes, there is a lot of people who receive charity care. I would call and make an appointment with a primary care dr. And go from there
Call accounting and see if they have a program on the money you make monthly and your bills, if need to be seen. your health is important.good luck
