This is true. But the level of care you get is vastly different if you dont have insurance. I was in the emergency room one time, arrived by ambulance from a motorcycle accident, didnt have my insurance card with me. The way they treated me then was very different from the nice, professional care I got an hour later when my wife showed up with my insurance card.
